ual ability is absolutely necessary to attain success. Younj^ ])eoj)le who have 
the idea that kindergarten work means simply amusement will find that they 
are in error, for only those who are earnest students and who have natural 
aptitude for such work can hope to secure a diploma, which certilies to their 
ability to take charge of a kindergarten. 

Course of Instruction 

This will include lessons on the use of the following articles and occupations 
in developing the child's mind: Ball, Sphere, Cube and Cylinder, Blocks, 
Tablets, Slats, Sticks, Rings and Peas-work; Pricking, Sewing, Drawing, 
Lacing, Weaving, Paper-cutting and Paper-folding. 

Systematic instruction will be given upon the principles and philosophy of 
training which underlie the kindergarten idea. Lessons on the care of chil- 
dren and on story-telling will also occupy the attention of the students during 
a part of the course. 

Instruction in the Normal system of music will be given, so that the kinder- 
gartners may be able to teach the rudiments of vocal music to children. 

Lessons in physical culture and kindergarten music and games will form a 
part of the course. 

Lessons in Botany and Natural History will be given, with methods of 
presenting them to little children. 

Instruction in Free-hand Drawing and in Modeling in clay will be given 
during the year. 

Students will be required to prepare pattern books of Weaving, Sewing, 
Pricking, Paper-folding and Paper-cutting, and they will be expected to invent 
new forms for themselves in accordance with the principles underlying all the 
work. 

Students will be required to observe for a time the work done in the kinder- 
garten, from nine until twelve. They will afterwards write out their observa- 
tions and submit them to the class for approval and criticism. As soon as the 
students are qualified to enter upon the work of instruction they will be given 
practical work with the children. 

A course of reading prescribed, including such books as Autobiography of 
Frobel, Reminiscences of Frobel, Education of Man, Emile, Leonard and 
Gertrude, Baldwin's Psychology and other works upon education. Frequent 
essays upon the various phases of the instruction and training of children and 
abstracts of the books read are required. 

A diploma will be given at the end of one year to those who complete the 
course satisfactorily; but it will not be a license to teach in the schools of the 
state. 

Those who dqsire to enter the course for kindergartners must present 
themselves at the beginning of the school year in September, because only 
one training class will be organized during the year. 

Only a limited number of kindergartners can be trained in the college, 
consequently application for appointments should be made as early as possible. 

KINDERGARTEN ASSOCIATION 

The city of Albany has a large number of earnest and enthusiastic kinder- 
gartners. They have frequent meetings for the purpose of discussing (jues- 
tions pertaining to their special work and they have sustained, at a large

MODEL SCHOOL 

A model school is organized and maintained that students may have an 
opportunity for observing the successful application of the methods of teach- 
ing and that they may have an opportunity to display their knowledge of the 
subjects taught and their skill in teaching and managing pupils. 

The school has four departments: Kindergarten, Primary, Grammar and 
High school. The courses of study cover the subjects necessary for prepara- 
tion for business, for college or for entering the Normal college. It is designed 
to make the school what its name signifies, a model which graduates may 
follow advantageously in methods of teaching and in discipline. 

The teaching in this school is done chiefly by pupil teachers, though model 
lessons are given from time to time by the teachers in charge, so that those 
who are preparing to teach may have illustrations to guide them in the appli- 
cation of the principles underlying education. 



THE NORMAL SCHOOL COMPANY IN THE WAR 



Capt. Professor Albert N. Husted has kindly prepared the follow- 
ing record of the services of the Normal School Company: 

When, in July, 1862, the Union forces were defeated in the 
"seven days' battle" before Richmond and there came up from 
the capital of the nation a new call for men — soldiers to drive back 
the rebellious invaders — the young men of the State Normal school 
felt that it was time for them to shoulder their muskets and do 
what they could to save the land they loved and preserve the insti- 
tutions for which their fathers fought. Professors Kimball and 
Husted, of the faculty, volunteered to go with and lead them. 
With the graduates and students of the school as a nucleus they 
commenced recruiting and, on the 25th of September, their com- 
pany of one hundred true, brave, earnest men were "mustered into 



HISTORICAL SKETCH 

OF THE 

STATE NORMAL COLLEGE 

Albany, N. Y. 

COVERING A 'period OF FIFTY YEARS 




S early as 1795 the legislature of the state of New York 
passed a law establishing common schools throughout 
the state, and from that time until the present the 
interests of education have received prominent atten- 
tion. The subject of better trained teachers was often 
discussed, and in 1826 Governor De Witt Clinton, in 
his annual message, recommended that there be established a 
seminary for the education of teachers in the useful branches of 
knowledge. No decisive steps, however, were taken until May 7, 
1844, when the legislature passed an act for the establishment of 
a normal school in the county of Albany. 

The same act appropriated a sum of money for its support and 
placed the entire supervision and government in the hands of the 
superintendent of common schools and the regents of the uni- 
versity. The following executive committee was at once appointed : 
Col. Samuel Young, Rev. Dr. Alonzo Potter, Hon. Gideon Hawley, 
Francis D wight and Rev. Dr. Wm. H. Campbell. 

June I, 1844, the committee met for the first time and organized 
with Colonel Young as chairman and Francis Dwight as secretary. 
Hon. Gideon Hawley was appointed a committee to confer with 
the common council of Albany with reference to a proper building 
for the service of the school, the same to be supplied by the city. 
In the following August the mayor and recorder of Albany pro- 
posed on behalf of the city that the latter lease the depot building 
on State street and Maiden lane, recently vacated by the Mohawk 
and Hudson Railroad Company, and that the city furnish five 
hundred dollars to help put it into proper condition for school 
purposes and place it at the service of the school for a period of live 
years. The proposition was accepted. Arrangements were rapidly 
completed and it was decided to open the first term December 18, 
1844. It was agreed that tuition should be free; books should be 
furnished to the pupils without charge; that the male pupils should 
receive one dollar per week and the female pupils one dollar and a 
quarter per week to help pay their board. On December 18 the 
school opened under most favorable circumstances, David Perkins 



4 Historical Sketch of the 

Page, of Newburyport, Mass., having been engaged on the recom- 
mendation of Horace Mann as the first principal. Twenty-nine pupils 
were in attendance and before the term closed the number was 
more than one hundred. A janitor was appointed, but was kept 
only one term, students being afterward appointed and paid for 
doing the work. During the early history of the school the number 
of pupils was limited to two from each assembly district, or twice 
the number of members of assembly. In 1846 the Experimental 
school was established with William F. Phelps at its head. 

Thus entered upon its existence the first Normal school of the 
state, whose graduates now number about four thousand. 

On January i, 1848, the school sustained an irreparable loss in 
the death of its principal, David P. Page. He died at the early 
age of thirty-seven, but left an impression upon the world which is 
not yet effaced. His book, " Page's Theory and Practice of Teach- 
ing," is widely known and read even yet. As a man and as a 
teacher no words of praise can do him justice. In him the instinct 
for knowledge and the desire for imparting it to others was suffi- 
ciently strong to overpower all obstacles and to carry him to the 
highest eminence in his profession. His life was early sacrificed in 
the cause he loved so well, and the Normal school firmly established 
was the result. 

January 12, 1848, George R. Perkins, LL.D., professor of mathe- 
matics from the organization of the school, was appointed principal. 
He at once undertook the task of securing a new site and building. 
The vacant lot in the rear of the old State Hall on the corner of 
State and Lodge streets, was selected and in April, 1848, the 
legislature granted an appropriation of $[5,000 for the new build- 
ing; $10,000 more was appropriated before its completion. July 
31, 1849, the new building was first used. The school had now a 
permanent home and it was believed that henceforth no question 
would arise as to the necessary appropriation for its support. 

Principal George R. Perkins, LL.D., resigned July 8, 1852, to 
take charge, as mathematician, of the calculations to be made in 
the process of consolidating the various lines of railroad between 
Albany and Buffalo, to form the N. Y. C. R. R. He had charge 
of building the Dudley Observatory. He became deputy state 
engineer and surveyor. He was, January 30, 1862, unanimously 
elected regent of the university. His death occurred in 1876 at 
New Hartford, Conn. 

Samuel B. Woolworth, LL.D., was elected principal September 
20, 1852. He had been many years in charge of the Homer, N. Y., 
Academy, in which he had made a reputation known and acknowl- 
edged throughout the state. He was a potential factor in the 
school for twenty-eight years, for when he resigned, February i, 
1856, it was to become secretary of the board of regents and so a 
member of the executive committee in charge of the school. He 
thus remained the most active man in its management until his 
lamented death in 1880. 

David H. Cochran, A.M., Ph.D., was elected principal February 
I, 1856. Formerly principal at Fredonia, N. Y., he came to 



State Normal College 5 

the Normal school in 1854 as teacher of the natural sciences. 
Dr. Cochran brought to his new position all the energy, all the 
graces and all the influences that had made his preceding career a 
marked success, that made his administration here a marked suc- 
cess. In his conduct of this school he was aided by a faculty 
mostly of his own selection. For eight years Dr. Cochran made 
the school a power for good. He was invited to the presidency of 
the Polytechnic Institute and resigned from the Normal school 
September 19, 1864, and with great reluctance and many words of 
praise the executive committee accepted his resignation. 

Oliver Arey, A. M., was elected principal December 2, 1864. 
Prof. Arey had made the Buffalo Central school celebrated and, 
in creating it, had built up his own reputation. He remained in 
charge of the Normal school until January 31, 1867. In accepting 
his resignation the executive committee expressed to him their 
appreciation of the fidelity with which he had discharged his duties 
and the assurance of their best wishes for his future. 

Joseph Alden, D.D., LL.D., was elected president April 24, 1867 
He had spent a long life as an educator and writer on educational 
subjects. He had been a professor in Williams college and presi- 
dent of Jefferson college. He gave abundantly to the school of the 
fruits of his long training and rich experience. He elevated mental 
training and intellectual development. He was wise and sagacious 
in selecting men and women for the work they could do. For 
fifteen years he directed the affairs of the school. Wise, earnest, 
faithful — when he resigned and insisted that his resignation be 
accepted, the executive committee had not words to express their 
regret at their loss and of praise for him who had done so much 
for the school. His resignation closed fifteen years of continuous 
service in the institution as its head. His death occurred in 1885 
at New York. 

Edward P. Waterbury, Ph.D., LL.D., a member of the executive 
committee, was elected president of the school June 22, 1882. For 
the first time in its history the head of the school was one of its 
own graduates. Dr. Waterbury spent the earlier part of his life as 
a teacher and then for fourteen years preceding his election as 
president was connected with the Massachusetts Mutual Insurance 
Company. It was during his presidency and largely through his 
efforts that the present building v/as secured. The executive com- 
mittee applied to the legislature in 1883 for a small appropriation 
to make repairs upon the school building in Lodge street. The 
finance committee of the senate having this application under 
consideration deemed it wise to make an examination of the build- 
ing, which two of their number personally inspected. They became 
convinced that it was entirely unfit for the purposes of the school, 
and at no distant day it would become dangerous. The outcome 
was an act passed by the legislature May 29, 1883, appropriating 
$125,000, or so much of that sum as might be necessary, for the 
erection of a new State Normal School building in the city of 
Albany and for the purchase of a site for the same. The present 
site on Willett street was chosen and a building, well equipped and 



6 Historical Sketch of the 

modern in all its appointments, was erected. The school entered 
its new home in September, 1885. Dr. Waterbury was not long 
permitted to enjoy the result of his labor, for he was stricken with 
disease and died August 28, 1889. He was admirably fitted by 
learning, experience and executive ability for the position he filled. 

October 29, 1889, William J. Milne, Ph.D., LL.D., the eighth 
president of the school, entered upon his duties. Dr. Milne has 
been all his life engaged in the profession of teaching. He came 
to Albany from Geneseo, N. Y., where in 187 1 he organized the 
State Normal and Training school and for eighteen years remained 
at its head. Within one year from the time he accepted the presi- 
dency of the Albany Normal school the institution became chartered 
as a Normal college and started upon a new career. "The design 
of the college is to give instruction in the science and art of teach- 
ing. It is a purel}'- professional institution, consequently nothing 
is studied or taught in it which does not bear directly upon the 
business of teaching. The courses of instruction include philosophy 
of education, history of education, systems of education, school 
economy, methods of teaching and such other subjects as are 
immediately related to the professional work of the teacher." 

The following abstract from annual reports made to the legisla- 
ture at the time the charter was changed, shows the purpose of the 
institution from its organization to the present as a training school 
for teachers: 

The legislature of the state of New York on May 7, 1844, passed an act for 
the establishment of a normal school in the county of Albany. The same act 
appropriated a sum of money for its support and prescribed with definiteness 
the character and scope of the work to be done in it. The act required that 
the funds be expended in providing the students in attendance with instruc- 
tion in the science of education and the art of teaching, together with sufficient 
practice in the work of teaching children to indicate their fitness to become 
instructors of the young. 

It was expected, also, that the graduates of the Normal school would become 
teachers in the common schools of the state. From the beginning the instruc- 
tion given in the school was chiefly academic in its character. The teachers 
were chosen because of their superiority as scholars rather than for their 
acquaintance with the most modern or most rational methods of instruction. 
The circulars issued by the school clearly show that the work of the instruct- 
ors during the first years of its existence was largeh'- the same as was done in 
the academies and high schools of the state, notwithstanding that the statute 
authorizing the establishment of the school by implication forbade the study 
of any subjects not bearing directly upon the science and art of teaching. 
The amount of attention paid to methods of teaching a part of the work of the 
school steadily increased until, during the decade just past, every student 
who graduated from the school received some instruction in the proper methods 
of teaching the subjects he pursued. The conditions of admission to the 
school were so low, however, that students of very meagre attainments in 
scholarship were permitted to enter the classes and necessarily, therefore, a 
large part of the time and energy of the teachers was spent in teaching the 
subjects usually taught in the union schools, academies and high schools. 

The executive committee which had charge of the Normal school became 
convinced that the efficiency of the institution could be increased very much 
by restricting the instruction to that which was contemplated by the legisla- 
ture at the time of the establishment of the school, and it was decided, there- 
fore, that at the beginning of the fall term in the year 1S90 a change in the 
conditions of admission should be made which would in a brief time make the 
work purely professional. Although there is a necessity at the present time for 



State Normal College 7 

normal schools where instruction may be given in the ordinary subjects of the 
public schools, the committee was thoroughly convinced that there was no need 
for such an institution in the city of Albany ; and they accordingly decided 
that after February, 1892, the school should devote itself to giving instruction 
solely in philosophy of education, methods of teaching and such other matters 
as bear directly and immediately upon the work of a teacher. It was also 
determined to extend the work in methods of teaching so as to cover all the 
subjects usually taught in our public schools and to broaden the course by 
more extended study of the philosophy and history of education. 

Aside from the fact that there was an urgent demand for such a course, it 
seemed necessary, in order to keep pace with the progressive spirit of the 
times, that the teachers should be tramed to do any work in any school. 
While much had been done to render the instruction of little children philo- 
sophical and rational, there was no institution anywhere which offered students 
the privilege of fitting themselves to present the subjects studied by boys and 
girls who had passed beyond the elementary grades. Good and wise and 
effective methods had been devised to interest and inspire the youngest 
pupils, but nothing had been done to provide for the proper training of teach- 
ers for advanced work ; and the committee, recognizing the imperative need 
of such a course, decided to enlarge the scope of the instruction and provide 
opportunities such that teachers might be prepared to give instruction in any 
subject usualljT- taught in the public schools, and thus save the children from 
the evils of the gross empiricism to which they had hitherto been subjected. 

Another consideration also led to the adoption of the advanced course of 
methods of teaching. It was, perhaps, expected at the time when the Normal 
school was established that its graduates would return to the district schools 
and spend years in teachmg in them. Such a result was never accomplished, 
however. The talent and training of the students who completed the course 
at the Normal school comrnanded larger remuneration than the district schools 
could generally afford to offer and, consequently, a comparatively small number 
of the graduates of the Normal school ever found their way into the district 
schools of the state. 

The committee recognized the impossibility of ever supplying the demand 
of the district schools, because the number of graduates each year is so small 
as to furnish but a slight percentage of the rural schools with teachers, and 
they knew also the futility of contending with the universal law of supply and 
demand by attempting to keep teachers of broad scholarship, special aptness 
for their work and thorough professional training at work in the district 
schools. It was plainly recognized that the district schools must secure their 
teachers largely from the union schools, academies and high schools and it 
was deemed the part of wisdom and economy to offer a course of study here 
which would prepare our graduates to become the teachers and trainers of 
those persons in the union schools, academies and high schools who are to 
become the instructors of the young in the small or sparsely settled communi- 
ties. Persons who would be competent to assume charge of that responsible 
work must be thorough masters of the subjects to be taught before they enter 
upon the study of the methods of teaching the subjects, consequently exten- 
sive attainments in scholarship were prescribed as a requirement for admission 
and a complete and practical professional training and skill prescribed for 
graduation. 

The course outlined by the committee covered so much more than any 
course in any similar institution that it was deemed but proper that the 
students who completed it successfully should be granted some honor beyond 
the diploma which licenses them to teach in the public schools of the state 
and, therefore, application was made to the board of regents of the univer- 
sity of the state of New York for permission to grant the pedagogical degrees 
of Bachelor of Pedagogy, Master of Pedagogy and Doctor of Pedagogy. The 
regents at once recognized the unusual importance of the scheme proposed 
and on March 13, 1890, empowered the committee to grant the pedagogical 
degrees referred to and changed the corporate name to The New York State 
Normal College. 

The State Normal college is, therefore, established upon a strictly profes- 
sional basis. Theoretical instruction in methods of teaching history and 



8 Historical Sketch of the 

philosophy of education and whatever else may make a teacher more useful 
and more successful as an instructor and disciplinarian, will be supplemented 
by practical experience gained in instructing and managing pupils in the 
class room. Subjects as such will not be taught in the college, but the entire 
talent and energy of the instructors will be utilized in producing teachers who 
are thoroughly informed regarding the most approved methods of instruction, 
the philosophical basis upon which the methods rest, the development of the 
educational systems of the world, and who have been trained in a rational 
way to secure the best possible results in the school room. 

The first class to complete any of the courses of instruction in the college 
was graduated in June, 1891, and at that time several students who were 
graduates of literary colleges in this and other states received the degree of 
Bachelor of Pedagogy ; but the college was not restricted to purely professional 
work until after February, 1892, because those who entered the Normal school 
previous to the change in the character of the institution were allowed to 
complete the course they began with the hope and expectation that they 
might finish it. 

The number of applicants for admission to the college is very encouraging. 
It was to be expected that there would be a large reduction in the number of 
the students, inasmuch as the lowest requirements for admission now are as 
high as were formerly required for graduation and yet, from the cordial 
support already received, it is confidently believed that within a few terms 
the number of students in attendance will not be materially less than formerly. 
The number of graduates will, however, be larger than formerly and the 
qualification of the graduates higher, as regards both methods of teaching 
and general scholarship, so that the returns to the state will be very much 
greater than ever before. Thus far only a few college graduates have availed 
themselves of the special opportunities offered to them here, but it is believed 
that much larger numbers will attend as soon as the kind of instruction that 
is given and its value to teachers come to be generally understood. Many 
college students suppose that the work done in the Normal college is only a 
review of the subjects taught in secondary schools, but as soon as it becomes 
known that our teaching is of a different kind and of a character which will 
be of the utmost value to them if they are to become teachers, a large number 
will come to the college for the training and the instruction which are given. 

As has been already intimated the most important part of a course in the 
Normal college is the practice which the students have in applying the 
methods which they have learned in managing pupils. Certainly no one 
ought to be licensed to teach for life who does not possess in a reasonable 
degree the ability to control a school, even if his scholarship is comprehensive 
and his knowledge of methods accurate, for he can not become a successful 
teacher unless he is able to secure prompt and cheerful obedience to all proper 
commands. Nor will any amount of observation of the work and ability of 
others qualify him to command success himself. He must actually do the 
work of a teacher, not witness it, in order that he may become proficient and 
that his teachers may discover whether he is worthy of receiving a diploma 
or not. 

The change in the scheme and scope of the instruction given at the Normal 
college from that which was formerly given at the Normal school will materi- 
ally increase the number of graduates, consequently it is absolutely necessary 
that much greater facilities for practice in teaching be provided. The present 
building does not afford and never has afforded anything like adequate 
accommodations for a suitable school of practice and now that there is a 
considerable increase in the number of student-teachers the space in the 
present building for such a school is utterly inadequate. 

There is urgent need also of rooms where students may have proper physical 
training and where they may have instruction in the preparation of apparatus 
and the mounting of specimens in natural history. 

Until such accommodations are provided the college must be seriously 
embarrassed in the execution of its plans, consequently the executive com- 
mittee strenuously urges the erection of a suitable building to provide for 
these imperative needs.

principals of schools, setting forth the superior qualifications of candidates in 
advanced arithmetic and advanced grammar will be received as evidences of 
proficiency and will exempt applicants from examination in those subjects. 

Examinations for entrance will be held at the college at the beginning of 
each term. It is not necessary that all the examinations be passed at one 
time ; they may be distributed through two years, if the candidate prefers. 
Admission to the college can not, however, be granted until the examinations 
are successfully completed. 

A knowledge of Latin or Modern Languages may be substituted for other 
subjects prescribed for entrance, but it can not be allowed for any subjects 
except those commonly called advanced studies.

Pedagogy upon their completing the Supplementary Course. 

Those only who have completed either the English or the Classical Course 
in the College can pursue the Supplementary Course and receive the peda- 
gogical degrees. 

COURSE FOR COLLEGE GRADUATES 
Many graduates from literary colleges are of the opinion that the instruction 
given in the Normal college consists simply of a review of the subjects taught 
in our secondary schools and they, consequently, feel that a year spent in such 
work will be of little value to them, not to say unnecessary, but in fact the 
instruction given is of a very different kind from that, and it is of a character 
which will prove of the utmost value to them in the profession of teaching. 

A person who has completed a course at a college often deems himself 
qualified to teach and the conviction is even more general that tact in manag- 
ing pupils combined with good scholarship is all that is necessary to attain 
the highest success in the profession. Such ideas are obstructive of the best 
results in teaching and the prevalence of them often prevents the best scholars 
and those who have the greatest natural endowments from seeking to learn 
the principles of their profession and the best way of applying them. If 
college graduates, who have excellent attainments in scholarship and natural 
aptitude for teaching, would acquaint themselves with modern methods of 
teaching, and the established principles and the generally accepted theories of 
education, and if they should become skillful in applying them practically 
in the schoolroom, they would advance rapidly to the front rank in the 
profession. 

Graduates of colleges and universities will be allowed to select (with the 
approval of the faculty) from the curriculum of study a course which may be 
completed in one year. Upon their completing it successfully and showing 
their ability to instruct and manage pupils properly they will receive diplomas 
which will be licenses to teach and the degree of Bachelor of Pedagogy will 
also be conferred upon them. 

SPECIAL COURSE 

It is often the case that persons who have been teaching for several years 
realize very keenly the need of professional training, but they feel that they 
can not spend the time necessary to complete a full course, nor can they afford 



14 Historical Sketch of the 

the expense which such a course would entail. The special course is offered 
to such, in order that they may gain a knowledge of the philosophy of educa- 
tion and acquire a reasonable degree of familiarity with modern methods of 
teaching. The demand for teachers of experience in the management of 
schools, who have skill in employing rational methods of instruction, is very 
great and the opportunity offered to such candidates by the college for equip- 
ping themselves to do the best work will, it is believed, enable mature and 
competent instructors to obtain a good knowledge of the philosophy and 
history of education and to improve their methods of teaching, so that they 
will materially increase their salaries and obtain more desirable positions than 
they have held hitherto. 

The basis for a successful application of the principles of education to 
methods of teaching is broad and accurate scholarship, consequently, none 
who have not studied what are ordinarily termed the higher subjects in our 
high schools and who have not scholarly tastes and habits will be allowed to 
pursue this course. 

Persons who have at least the scholarship required for admission to the 
English course, and who have a first grade teacher's certificate, and who bring 
testimonials from school commissioners, boards of education or superintend- 
ents of schools, to show that they have taught successfully for three years or 
more, will be allowed to complete a special course in one year. 

If they succeed in doing the work of the course in a satisfactory manner 
they will be granted a diploma which will also be a license to teach for life in 
the public schools of the state. 

This course will include substantially the subjects prescribed in the first 
and last terms of the English course. 

ELECTIVE COURSES 

Persons of maturity who have had large and successful experience in teach- 
ing, but who have not the attainments in scholarship required for admission 
into the regular courses, and those that have the qualifications for entrance 
who wish to pursue elective courses, will be permitted to enter the college 
and pursue such courses as the faculty may approve, but they will not be 
granted diplomas, nor will degrees be conferred upon them. 

COURSE FOR KINDERGARTNERS 

ADMISSION 

Applicants must be at least eighteen years of age. They must be graduates 
from some high school, academy, academic department of a union school or 
other higher institution of learning that they may be mentally fitted to com- 
prehend and apply understandingly the truths underlying the Frobel system.. 
They should have a natural love for children, so that they may enter into 
childish joys and sorrows in a sympathetic manner. They should have the 
consciousness of a high moral purpose and a love for nature ; they should also 
possess good health, industry and a cheerful and contented disposition. 
They should be able to play the piano and have a true ear and voice for 
singing. 

Those who desire to enter this course must have good scholarship and the 
ability to understand and appreciate the principles upon which the kinder- 
garten system is based. Fondness for children is very desirable and intellect-

the service of the United States for three years, or the war." They 
were at once fully armed and equipped. The faculty of the school 
presented each of the officers with a valuable revolver, while con- 
tributions from graduates and friends purchased a rubber blanket 
for each Normal member of the company. 

After three weeks of drilling and guard duty, at the barracks 
west of Albany, the company was, on request of its officers, attached 
to the Forty-fourth New York Volunteers — a regiment in high 
standing, but much reduced in numbers by service in the field — 
forming a part of the Third Brigade, First Division, Fifth Corps, 
and was afterwards known as Company E of that regiment, joining 
it October 23d at Antietam Ford, Maryland, where the Army of 
the Potomac was resting after the battle of Antietam. 

The company, as an organization, participated in the following 
engagements: 

1. Fredericksburg, December 11-14, 1862. 

2. Chancellorsville, April 30 to May 6, 1863. 

3. Gettysburg, July 2 and 3, 1863. 

4. Wilderness, May 5, 6 and 7, 1864. 

5. Spottsylvania, May 8-21, 1864. 

6. Cold Harbor, June 3, 1864. 

7. Petersburg, June 18-21, 1864. 

8. Weldon Railroad, August 18-21, 1864. 

9. Poplar Grove Church, September 30, 1864; and in the follow- 
ing skirmishes or partial engagements: 

10. Middleburg, June 21, 1863. 

11. Jones' Cross Roads, Md., July 11 and 12, 1863. 

12. Wapping Heights, July 24, 1863. 

13. Rappahannock Station, November 7, 1863. 

14. Mine Run, November 29 and 30, and December i, 1863. 

15. North Anna, May 23-26, 1864. 

16. Tolopatamoy Creek, May 29 and 30, 1864. 

17. Magnolia Swamp, June i and 2, 1864. 

Capt. Rodney G. Kimball commanded the company at the battle 
of Fredericksburg and until February 4, 1863, when he left the 
regiment on "sick leave,"' and was honorably discharged, on sur- 
geon's certificate of disability, April 16, 1863. 

Lieut. Albert N. Husted participated in all the above-named 
engagements; was slightly wounded at the battle of Chancellors- 
ville by a fragment of shell; was promoted to a captaincy and was 
honorably discharged because of expiration of term of service of 
regiment October 14, 1864. 

The following members of the company were graduates or under- 
graduates of the New York State Normal school and served with 
the company in the battles whose numbers are set opposite their 
respective names:

The term of enlistment of the 44th Regiment expired August 8, 
1864. At that time the effective force " present for duty " of the 
original one hundred men numbered only ten. The remaining 
members of the company, both present and absent, were transferred 
to the 140th N. Y. Volunteers in October following, served with 
that regiment in the closing campaign — some of them to the sur- 
render of Lee at Appomatox — and were mustered out in June, 1865. 

The following brief summary but imperfectly exhibits the com- 
pany's usefulness in aiding to suppress the "Great Rebellion:" 
Of the one hundred men seventeen died of wounds received in 
battle; eight died of disease contracted in the service; twenty 
received wounds which did not prove fatal; seven were commis- 
sioned as officers of U. S. colored troops, five of them as captains; 
seven received commissions in New York volunteer regiments; 
twelve were discharged because of physical disability; nine were 
transferred to the invalid corps and three to the signal corps. 

The record of the Normal school in the war would be incomplete 
without th^ following additional facts: Besides those already 
mentioned seventy-nine others served, with rank from brigadier- 
general to private. Four served in the Confederate army, one of 
whom was killed in battle. 



THE ALUMNI MEMORIAL WINDOW 



This magnificent memorial of the loyalty and love of alma mater's 
sons and daughters was first publicly suggested at the "great 
reunion " (600 present) in December, 1883, by Edward P. Water- 
bury, '49, then president of the New York State Normal school. 
His proposition was adopted with enthusiasm and a committee of 
one from each class was appointed to obtain subscriptions. To 
President Waterbury, Charles R. Abbott, '48, and William M. 
Giffin, '73, was intrusted the duty of making arrangements for its 
construction and erection in the chapel of the new building then 
assuming form on the Willett street site. 

Dr. Waterbury was both chairman and treasurer of the com- 
mittee and, as the other members resided at a distance from Albany, 
the work devolved principally upon him. He set to work with his 
accustomed energy, issued a circular to all living graduates, and 
such was his faith, in the eagerness of all to be represented that 
subscriptions were limited to not more than "ten dollars each." 



20 Historical Sketch of the 

The window was designed by Ezra Prentice Treadwell, of Boston, 
who described it as follows: 

" The central motive, as presented in the five principal panels, 
is the development of mankind and of the arts and sciences as the 
result of education. 

"The five divisions represent 'the teacher and the scholar' (in 
the central panel, the teacher having the idealized face of D. P. 
Page), surrounded by ' the painter and the sculptor,' ' the poet and 
the musician,' 'the orator and the scientist,' ' the narrater and the 
historian,' The figures are life size; dignity and character are 
given by the classic treatment of the ligures and by the suggestion 
of the academy as a background, while the tree of knowledge, the 
olive, overshadows the group, and white doves, emblems of peace, 
float above them. Filling the arch over this group are the ' marks,* 
hieroglyphs, of the early printers, as Aldus, Caxton, Guttenburg, 
etc., thus symbolizing books, the great means for the advance of 
education. 

" As a contrast, and recalling the Dark Ages, are the five groups 
forming the lower section of the window, representing Folly, Ignor- 
ance and Vice, surrounded by the fanatic and the warrior with their 
victim, the iconoclast, the ignorant and bigoted who martyr the 
saints. 

"The window is executed in mosaic of American colored glass, 
all the shadings of color in figures, faces and draperies being care- 
fully painted on and burned into the glass, while the outline draw- 
ing is entirely in lead." 

At the death of President Waterbury, August 28, 1889, he had 
received, including interest on deposits, $2,313.78. Six years had 
elapsed and less than one-half the required sum had been secured. 
Prof. Husted was now appointed treasurer. 

Prof. Burt devised and successfully executed a plan for obtain- 
ing subscriptions which should be payable when the whole sum 
necessary to complete the structure was pledged. 

The contract price for the window was $4,723. Printing, post- 
age and incidental expenses amounted to nearly $300, making the 
total cost about $5,000. 

The whole number of contributions, in sums varying from fifty 
cents to fifty dollars and representing all the graduating classes, 
from the first to that of June, 1891, was 1,418. 

Reunion notices of December 10, 1892, announced " the alumni 
window is now complete and funds sufliicient to pay for the same 
are in the bank." 

Thus was finished, after the lapse of nearly nine years from the 
date of its inception, " the largest single window in the country " — 
thirty-two and a half feet by fourteen — a fit and enduring expression 
of fealty to the state and the influence of education. 



State Normal College 21 

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION 



On the 26th of September, 1849, at eight a. m., was assembled 
the first general gathering of those who had been connected with 
the New York State Normal school. 

The meeting was called, in behalf of the faculty, by William F. 
Phelps, '45, Silas T. Bowen, '45, and William W. Clark, '45, com- 
mittee. The objects proposed to be accomplished were: 

First. The organization of a society of the alumni. 

Second. The appropriate dedication of the commodious edifice 
now completed for the permanent occupancy of the school. (The 
Lodge street building.) 

Third. A renewal of old acquaintances and a cordial interchange 
of those sentiments which unite all in one common brotherhood. 

Professor George R. Perkins presided and one hundred fifty-two 
graduates answered to their names. The first article of the Consti- 
tution adopted reads as follows : 

"This association shall be called The Association of Graduates 
of the New York State Normal School, and shall hold its meetings 
biennially at the Normal school at Albany." 

In obedience to the Constitution meetings were held July 30, 
1851; July 13, 1853; July 12, 1855; July 9, 1857; July 13, 1859. 

No "Jubilee," as the gatherings were then called, could be cele- 
brated while the nation was in the throes of civil war and none 
were called for '61, '63 and '65. June 21, 1867, the secretary of 
the association, on i"ecommendation of the faculty, notified the 
members that " the causes which led to a temporary suspension of 
these biennial meetings being now removed .... you are 
cordially invited to attend an informal social gathering at the 
Normal building on the evening of July loth." About one hundred 
fifty responded to the call. John T.Conklin, '47, presided. Informal 
addresses were made by the chair and others and it was resolved, 

"That future meetings of the Association be exclusively social 
in their character : that the next meeting of the Association be held one 
year from this time and that thereafter the meetings occur biennially. " 

The meetings of '68 and '70 were not large, but were called "very 
pleasant and satisfactory"; that of July 2, 1872, was but "poorly 
attended" and it seemed plain to those present that the "exclus- 
ively social" idea was not a success. The Association was accord- 
ingly reorganized on substantially its original basis. William J. 
Ballard, '70, was elected president and Sherman Williams, '71, 
secretary. Annual meetings with "literary exercises" were also 
ordered and a committee appointed to draft a new constitution 
for presentation at the next meeting. June 30, 1873, the new con- 
stitution was adopted. 

The next session of the Association was held December 30, 1874, 
at which Article V of the constitution was amended to read: "The 
regular meetings of this Association shall be held annually during 
the week between Christmas and New Years." This regulation 
ruled for twenty years. 

The "Jubilee" or semi-centennial reunion was held June 26-7-8, '94.

24 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

OPENING ADDRESS OF THE SEMI-CENTENNIAL JUBI- 
LEE, BY HON. JAMES F. CROOKER 

^ ^ ^ This is an occasion for which the pubhc, gener- 
ally, should feel a large degree of pride. An occasion 
which brings to memory events of the past closely asso- 
ciated with an institution highly valued for its educational 
work. The memory of the Albany Normal School, now the 
State Normal College, is dear to many graduates who are to 
be found in all parts of this broad country. It is the pioneer 
school of the kind in the State. It is the parent Normal school, 
around which now cluster a system whose good influences are felt 
in ever}^ town and hamlet throughout the Union. All friends of 
public instruction may look back with pride on the notable achieve- 
ments which mark the life of the State Normal College during its 
fifty years of existence. It began its career under very discouraging 
circumstances. It started out with prejudice and doubts, even among 
the most loyal friends of education, arrayed against it. It was at first 
regarded as a very dubious experiment, but it has met with 
unbounded success. Normal training is no longer a doubtful experi- 
ment^ for the schools throughout the world are seeking to employ 
trained teachers. The most complete system of normal training that 
has yet been devised is the result of the earnest work accomplished 
by this institution. There were exceptionally strong men on the 
original executive board, such as Colonel Samuel Young, Secretary 
of State and Superintendent of Public Instruction; Rev. Dr. Alonzo 
Potter, Rev. Dr. William H. Campbell and Prof. Francis Dwight, 
three eminent educators of the State, and the Hon. Gideon Hawley, 
the first Superintendent of Public Instruction, who laid the founda- 
tions of the present system. The Albany Normal School opened on 
December i8, 1844, with twenty-nine pupils under a faculty of five 
persons, composed of David P. Page, principal; George R. Perkins, 
professor of mathematics; Frederick I. Illsley, professor of music; 
J. B. Howard, teacher of drawing, and Merrit G. McKoon, professor 
of natural sciences. The number of pupils in a brief period increased 
to 100. The popularity of Normal school pupils as teachers was so 
great that during the first three years 421 were employed. During 
its existence it has graduated 4,000, most of whom have been 
engag^ed in teaching in different sections of the country. A large 
number of those graduates are assembled here to-night to enjoy the 
festivities of this reunion. Many have passed from earth's busy 
scenes, but have left the imprint of their useful work on the genera- 
tions to succeed them. The Albany Normal School was permanently 
established by an act of the Legislature passed on April 12, 1848. 
Its progress up to the present time has been commensurate with the 
vast strides made by our State in every branch of intellectual work. 

It has long since outgrown prejudice and hostility and it is now 
immovably fixed in the confidence and affection of the people. It

has seen the principles on which it was estabhshed spread far and 
wide. Twelve similar institutions are now established in the State, 
and all are doing excellent work. The Albany Normal College is 
doubly honored by being the first training school for teachers in 
our public school system. All honor to the State Normal College 
and its worthy president, its splendid corps of teachers, and its bright 
array of pupils whose proudest privilege in after life will be to call it 
their Alma Mater. ^-^ ^ ^ 



ADDRESS BY HON. ABRAM B. WEAVER 
Jkfr. President and Ladies and GentleJiien : 

Sincerity constrains me to say that an appeal to my personal 
friendship, more than anything else, has brought me here to join in 
this celebration. It is a friendship established many years ago with 
a promising young professor in the State Normal School at Brock- 
port. It grew and matured in later years, when my friend was prin- 
cipal of the State Normal School at Geneseo. It has survived a long 
separation and much inattention, but not indifference, on, my part, 
and has recently been refreshed by kind words from that same friend, 
now president of the State Normal College here at x\]bany. In his 
cordial letter of invitation he persuaded me that, with all my short- 
comings, he would be pleased to see me, and so I have come to see 
him and his college, and his students and the small proportion of his 
other friends that this great hall can hold. 

This is the first public exercise connected with this institution that 
I have attended since it was removed from its old home down town, 
to its present abode in the commodious edifice on the top of the hill. 
Hovv^ suggestive the location of its new home on the top of the hill! 
How significant of its growth, its achievements and its high rank 
among similar institutions! — in every sense on the top of the hill. 
And when it was changed from a Normal School to a Normal Col- 
lege and a president was needed, what action could have been more 
appropriate and more propitious than to invite him whose qualifica- 
tions had been so fully tested and demonstrated here and elsewhere, 
to remain and fill out the import of that new name and give it prac- 
tical meaning? 

This school has been uniformly fortunate in the distinguished edu- 
cators who have served as its principals — Page, Perkins, Wool- 
tvorth, Cochran, Arey, Alden, Waterbury and Milne. They were 
men of high personal character and thorough scholarship. They 
were devoted to their duties. They loved their work and put their 
hearts as well as their brains into it. They were strong men, able 
to impress their own good qualities upon their pupils, and thus they 
sent out to the schools of the State and to the people whom 
they truly served, their own power, through the teachers whom they 
trained. 

In what I may say about this institution I mean no disparagement 
to anv of our State Normal Schools; nor do I mean to make any 



26 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

direct comparisons. Having been charged with the official responsi- 
bility of organizing six of the early eight, I have a personal pride 
and gratification in their prosperity. All of them have served the 
public as well, perhaps, as the local conditions by which some of 
them are surrounded would permit, and all of them have my hearty 
good will and congratulations. , 

There is one important thing, however, which all our Normal 
Schools and Normal Colleges together have not yet accomplished, 
and that is to place their graduates in the public schools of the 
rural districts. But that is not their fault. How to do it, is just as 
much of a problem to-day as it ever was, and I see no solution of it, 
except to take more money from other sources and carry it over the 
hills to poverty comers, and leave it there to attract good teachers 
to come and earn it. 

But there are some characteristics about this school that are pecu- 
liar to itself and which naturally suggest themselves at this time. It 
was the parent school, the pioneer school, the trial school upon the 
success of which the enlargement of the system depended. Has it 
been successful? Has it fulfilled the purpose for which it was estab- 
lished? Do we celebrate an empty name or substantial achieve- 
ments? Look at its progeny. The whole State is dotted over with 
Normal Schools, thirteen in number, including the local Normal 
College in the city of New York, every^ one of which is an eloquent 
argument, and all of them together are conclusive proof that this 
school was founded in wisdom and has been managed with great 
fidelity and success. 

Another distinctive quality is a certain unmistakable soundness of 
the instruction here given, which has ever had the ring of real worth. 
No shams or counterfeits have been tolerated. No noise has been 
made to attract attention. No cunning devices have been used to 
cheat the public. The recognized rule has been that honest work 
intelligently applied by teachers and students would win deserved 
and enduring success, and it has won it. And that is the true rule 
to-day everywhere. There is no patent process to produce sound 
scholarship while you wait and hear some educational quack chant 
his own praises. Education is not an operation performed upon a 
subject, but is chiefly the result of the student's own effort. Methods 
may be changed and, perhaps, improved, facilities may be multiplied, 
teachers may be more intelligent and more helpful, but yet, per- 
sistent personal application and hard work are indispensable. 

Right here I offer a word of admonition on my own account, 
without asking anyone else to share the responsibility. My warning is 
this — There is danger in that word work. It contains the elements of 
dire disaster as well as of brilliant triumphs. It may be abused, and 
often is abused in our schools, by the hurry and worry and the wear 
of indiscriminate forcing processes. Boys and girls are physically 
wrecked, right in the school-room, before they even enter the race 
of life for which they are being trained. This is plainly wrong and 
should be restrained. 

I concede that the average scholar will not do his best without 



State Normal College 27 

some urging and that the teacher is, to some extent, a taskmaster; 
but that is no justification for breaking down the student by over- 
work, by crowding him beyond endurance. That is not doing his 
best but the very worst. For myself, if compelled to choose, I would 
rather have a sound body and a sound mind with little schooling, at 
sixteen years of age, than be the best educated young invalid who 
ever tottered out of a school-house under the weight of his spectacles. 

School officers are authorized by law to incur the expense of hoist- 
ing our national flag over our school-houses, to teach the scholars 
a lesson in patriotism, and it is well. It might be well also to dis- 
play inside the school-room, in full view of teachers and school 
officers, the motto, " Make haste slowly," in order to conserve the 
health and strength of the young patriots so that they may be spared 
to live under that flag and be able, if necessary, to defend it. 

The limit of time permits me to mention only one other estimable 
characteristic of this school, and that is the special attention it has 
given to the English language and literature. For this, I profoundly 
honor it because I am persuaded that those subjects do not receive 
the thorough and extended study which they deserve in our public 
schools, colleges and universities. 

I would not discourage the study of Latin and Greek and the 
modern European languages, if one has time and taste for them. 
There is great advantage to be derived from it if more important 
things are not neglected for that purpose. I have given enough 
time and study to them myself to qualify a person of ordinary ability 
for one of the learned professions, and I cannot say that I regret it. 

But the English language can be studied successfully and profit- 
ably as it stands by itself, without going back to its sources in other 
tongues. That ripe scholar and veteran teacher. Dr. Alden, when 
principal of this school, used to say that he could develop and disci- 
pline the minds of his students as well bv studying the English 
classics as he could by studying Latin and Greek. 

Besides, it is our language and should have a judicious preference 
over all others. It is ours by adoption, ours by conquest, ours by 
inheritance. It is ours by a title that reaches far back beyond Eng- 
land to the German tribes from which England herself largely 
derived the germs of her language and of her constitution. It is a 
language which, like the people who use it, is taking possession of 
the earth. It is the language of our laws, the language of our homes, 
the language of our schools, and we should take great care and 
great pride in teaching and learning and using it correctly. It is a 
much finer accomplishment and a much more worthy distinction to 
read and write and speak this, our own tongue, with precision, ele- 
gance and power, than to prattle a little genteel, feeble, faulty French. 
I plead for purer and better English and more of it. 

I must not omit to express the great pleasure it affords me to 
meet, on this occasion, so many of my successors in the office of 
Superintendent of Public Instruction. I feel like congratulating 
them, even at this late day, upon their several administrations. With 
their known qualifications and their obvious advantages at the out- 



28 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

set, their success was quite natural and logical, and was, therefore, 
to be expected — they were my successors. 

The pathway of learning ever leads up the hill, and possibly some 
future celebration of this institution may yet be held on the top of 
the Helderbergs. 



ADDRESS BY HON. NEIL GILMOUR 

Mr. Chairman.^ Ladies and Gentlemen : 

3aid an Irishman the other day to a friend, "Arrah, where will you 
find a modem building that has lasted as long as the ould wans?" 

This institution, whose semi-centennial we are gladly celebrating, 
is revered, healthy and strong. It has lasted, and will last, a blessing 
both to those receiving instruction within its walls, and to all 
with whom its graduates may associate, and will continue to send 
forth streams of knowledge and rays of light not only into all quar- 
ters of our State, but they will penetrate into regions beyond. Why 
was this institution established? The law under which it was created 
says, among other things, " for the instruction and practice of 
teachers of common schools in the science of education and the art 
of teaching." When I was a lad at school, there was a very prevalent 
idea that anybody could teach. In my day it seemed that the way to 
get the teacher's thought into the boy was through the rod, or by 
some other physical method. I got my share of it, and to-night I 
stand here with grateful remembrance of my old teacher, knowing 
full well that if he did not in any degree make my mind grow, he at 
least by his cudgeling gave me a grand, healthy body. You remem- 
ber the story of the trustee asking the young man about to be hired 
whether he " teached the earth was round or flat," the answer thereto 
being, " I am not particular, I'll teach it any way you want." That 
day is past. 

This institution was established and is maintained by the State for 
the express purpose of teaching young men and women how to 
teach. Far be it from me to say or even think that there are no excel- 
lent teachers who have never seen a Normal School. Aye, there are 
many of them; but if these same teachers in youth had been taught 
" the trade," to-day they would be still better ^mechanics than they 
now are. Our State maintains a splendid system of education. In 
studying the history of nations, we find they perish not because of 
debt. If such were the case, that fast-anchored isle on the other side 
of the Atlantic long ago would have been cut from her moorings, 
and no longer be a power among the nations of the earth, as she is 
to-day. 

No — immorality is the cause of the downfall of peoples 

" 111 fares the land, to hastenin,c: ills a prey. 
Where wealth accumulates and men decay." 

and the best antidote has been found in the education of the 
masses — the development of the physical, the mental and the moral ; 



State Normal College 29 

and if we educate our youth in this way, this country will always be 
able to say, as Robert Burns, in his Cotter's Saturday Night, said of 
his beloved Scotland: 

" Then, howe'er crowns and coronets be rent, 
A virtuous populace may rise the while 
And stand a wall of fire around their much-loved Isle." 

When Socrates returned from the battle of Potidaea, where he had 
bravely fought, being surrounded by the friends of the soldiers in 
the field and questioned as to how they fared, turning them aside 
with short answers, he in turn asked: " What of the boys? Who of 
them give promise of becoming good citizens?" So is it the duty 
of every^one to watch the coming generation about to take our places. 
What promise do they give of a bright future? How well are they 
being prepared to assume the duties of those to-day active in their 
discharge, but who must soon cease their labors? 

A teacher correcting a little boy for some slight offense growled 
at him, " W^hat are you good for? " The little fellow, with righteous 
indignation, replied, '' Sir, they make men out of boys like me." 
And, 'tis education that does it, education of the right kind, the 
development of the physical, the mental and the moral. 

A story is told of a chaplain in a legislative body quoting in his 
sermon, '^ An honest man's the noblest work of God," but looking 
around his audience, he exclaimed: " My brethren, I fear it is a long 
time since the Lord had such a job here." If the chaplain was right, 
those men lacked one of the essentials of a complete education. 
When I take up a college magazine and find only one article devoted 
to education, all the rest treating of the physical, I cannot help but 
think that institution is developing the body at the expense of 
the mind. Let us see to it, so far as in our power lies, that education 
be not alone of the one, but that the youth in all his capacities shall 
be developed. 

In the great work of making good citizens, this institution of 

learning has long held a prominent place. She has had some of the 

best teachers in the countr}% and has had a line of distinguished 

principals, of whom last, but not least, is our genial and able Milne. 

Coming at an early age from his native Scotland, he long ago 

learned 

" Life is like the prickly nettle; 
Touch it softly and it stings you for your pains ; 
Grasp it with a hand of mettle. 
And it soft as silk remains." 

And, acting thereon, to-day he is one of the very best men in edu- 
cational work, and the earnest prayer goes up from all that he may 
be long spared to guide the destinies of this great Normal College. 

To-night, my friends, as we stand on this educational height and 
look over the proud history of this school for the past fifty years, 
so with the eye of faith can we look forward to many more years of 
good work and great usefulness, and fervently do we unite in saying, 
" Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces." 



so Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

ADDRESS BY HON. ANSON J. UPSON, D. D., LL. D. 

Chancellor of the University of the State of New York 

Afr. Superintendent and Ladies and Gentlemen : 

The politicians of our day, when they wish to destroy the force of 
an argument drawn from the poHtical experience of the past, cry 
out with a sneer, " Oh, all that is ancient history. It is past and 
gone. It is only history, the dead past and not the living present," 
" Let the dead past bury its dead." They tell us the argument from 
historical experience has no vital, vigorous, energizing force. 

We who are assembled here to-night in such large numbers, 
Mr. Chairman, imply at least by our attendance that we have no sneer 
for " ancient history.'' Rather we believe that Thomas Carlyle 
sounds for us the key-note of the inauguration of this semi-centen- 
nial celebration, when he declares that history is " a warfare against 
oblivion." We are here to wage that fight to-night; to write a chap- 
ter in the history of this Normal College. We are here to rescue, if 
we may, from the possibility of oblivion your precious examples. We 
are here to renew our knowledge of your former patrons, your prin- 
cipals, your instructors, your graduates. We are here to wage a 
successful warfare against the oblivion with which the passage of 
fifty years might destroy the record of this school. We are here to 
do this, because we believe that here the historical argument has yet 
a vital, vigorous, energizing force. The history of this New York 
State Normal College contains in itself a living argument in favor 
of the kind of education it exemplifiies. 

Imagine, if you can, the condition of a country where occasions 
like this are never celebrated; where the work that has been done 
by benefactors and teachers, like yours in this College, is never 
remembered; where the useful lives that graduates like yours have 
lived are never named, but are forever lost in oblivion! We can 
hardly imagine such a country; such a people would pay the pen- 
alty of their ungrateful indifference and selfish stupidity by a speedy 
return to hopeless savagery. Thanks to the industry and loyalty 
of the late President Waterbury and his coadjutors and successors, 
we yet know something of the names and deeds that should be 
recalled gratefully at this time. 

New and useful institutions seldom or never spring to life suddenly. 
The existence of a new institution seldom can be attributed to the 
invention and labor of a single man. As a great individual reputation 
is built up by many deeds of usefulness, or valor, or patriotism, or 
self-sacrifice; so a great institution embodies in itself the results of the 
thought of many minds, and sometimes the self-sacrifice of many 
lives. "The normal idea that teachers should be instructed in the 
art of teaching; that they should be taught not only how to acquire 
knowledge, but how to impart it, existed in the State of New York 
long before Normal Schools were established on this continent." 
The idea was here. But it did not take on substance and form and 
become an established fact, until it had more than one advo- 



State Normal College 31 

cate. No single hand raised this structure. DeWitt CUnton in 
three messages urged the estabHshment of a seminary for the educa- 
tion of teachers. John C. Spencer reported a bill in the senate of 
this State for its establishment. The citizens of Rochester, in large 
numbers, enthusiastically petitioned for it. William Learned Marcy, 
that sagacious statesman; John Adams Dix, distinguished for his 
wide reading and high culture and interest in education, as well as 
for his ability and patriotism; William Henry Seward, whose 
interest in the common schools was characteristic of his public life 
in this State; Bishop Alonzo Potter, that genius for administra- 
tion, as great or a greater teacher than he was a bishop; and above 
all and through all, Francis Dwight, a Massachusetts boy and a 
Harvard graduate, who dying too early at thirty-seven, killed him- 
self by the over-work for education which he gave to this State; all 
these, CHnton, Spencer, Marcy, Dix, Seward, Potter, Dwight, com- 
bined in giving their great influence to this great undertaking. 
But even this powerful combination would have accomplished but 
little without the active, effective agency of a single mind. Such a 
one was Calvin T. Hulburd, whose name should be mentioned with 
special honor here and now. Mr. Hulburd was a member of the 
New York assembly of 1843, from the county of St. Lawrence, chair- 
man of the committee on education of the assembly for that year. 
He felt deeply the responsibility of his position, regarding it as no 
sinecure. By study and observation making himself competent to 
sustain his position, he introduced an elaborate report, accom- 
panied by a bill. With the aid of Michael Hofifman, of Herkimer 
county, this bill became a law on the 7th of May, 1844. Thus was 
established this Normal School, but only for a period of five years. 
The founders had only faith enough to try this experiment. Most 
of them lived long enough to see their experiment become a decided 
success. 

We would honor these founders. On this occasion, they deserve 
our gratitude and praise. But we would honor even more the 
teachers whom they appointed, without whom their foundation 
would have been a failure. On occasions like this, I am sometimes 
pained to notice that teachers are forgotten, while founders are 
honored. Founders, who give their names and their influence and 
their money, are remembered, while teachers, who give their lives, 
are unnoticed. Let both founders and instructors share our remem- 
brance and our praise. 

Your first principal, David Perkins Page, was, like Horace Mann, 
in the teachers' glorious work, an enthusiast. A New Hampshire 
boy, with difficulty persuading his father to allow him to attend the 
neighboring academy to fit himself for teaching, he began his life- 
work at eighteen and , ended his work at thirty-seven. He gave but 
the last four years of that short life to your service. Yet they were 
his best years. Such was the enthusiasm of his labor here that those 
who knew his work the best declared his death to be " a public 
calamity." It was the efficient enthusiasm of David Page that 
raised this Normal College out of a doubtful experiment when he 



32 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

began, into an accomplished fact, when he ended his work. This 
institution, for fifty years, has been conducted mainly on the plans 
which that courageous young man invented. His volume on '' The 
Theory and Practice of Teaching " is still an authoritative treatise. 
His brilliant addresses throughout this State aroused a new enthu- 
siasm for his professional work. I have often heard him speak. 
The light of genius shone in his eyes. "He being dead yet 
speaketh." 

George Roberts Perkins, the successor of Mr. Page, was one of the 
teachers of my boyhood. During most of his life, I knew him well. 
He was a teacher of mathematics at Clinton and Utica, and for four 
years in this school, and principal here for four years longer. He 
was the author of many mathematical text-books, and in his day he 
was, perhaps, the most accomplished mathematician in this State. 
There are those, you know, who maintain that the study of mathe- 
matics is actually deleterious. They assert that mathematical study 
unfits a man or woman for the practical work of life; because the 
reasoning employed in mathematics is not that used in daily life, 
being demonstrative and not probable or moral. The life of George 
Roberts Perkins has the destructive force of a stubborn fact to contra- 
dict this theory. A mathematician, he was pre-eminently a practical 
man; a civil engineer, the superintendent of the construction of the 
Dudley Observatory, aiding by his calculations in the consolidation of 
the separate railways between Albany and Buffalo, an eiBcient Regent 
of the University, he died a rich man having made a fortune in real 
estate. This practical mathematician was just the man to be the 
successful successor of the enthusiast Page. He did excellent prac- 
tical work as principal, among other things superintending the erec- 
tion of the new home for the school on Lodge street. He had his 
troubles. He made a mistake when he tried to teach Indian young 
men and women how to teach. He had twenty-six Indians in the 
school, but only one girl was graduated. The failure was not his 
fault, nor that of his assistants. By a law of the State, he was com- 
pelled to try. 

Samuel Buel Woolworth, a graduate of Hamilton College, the 
successor of Dr. Perkins in 1852, brought to this Normal School, 
from Onondaga valley and from Homer, New York, the knowl- 
edge and experience of a teacher of twenty-eight years. He had 
made teaching the business of his life. And among the lessons in 
education that he had learned before he came to Albany was the 
pre-eminent importance of classification in the organization of a 
large school. Before his time in most of the academies of this State, 
perliaps, necessarily, the work of the teachers was interchangeable. 
In the Cortland Academy, at Homer, he had insisted upon what 
seems to us now to be axiomatic — a thorough and fixed division of 
labor, appointing teachers who each devoted his whole time to a sin- 
gle department, he himself, as principal, supervising all. His success 
in this arrangement was so marked that he gained a public confi- 
dence which he brought with him to this city. " Under his influence 
a reorganization of this school was effected, the departments of

I 844-1 848 



State Normal College ;^;^ 

instruction were made more distinct and teachers of liberal culture, 
acknowledged ability, and successful experience were secured for 
each department." 

Legislative hostility had been aroused against the school, but 
before Dr. Woolworth resigned, in 1855, such had been the effect 
of his wisdom, sagacity and varied knowledge of men and things, 
that the confidence of the public had been completely restored. 

We remember Dr. Woolworth as the laborious, capable and 
acceptable secretary of the Regents of the University; but as prin- 
cipal of this school he did enough to secure for himself a lasting 
remembrance. As he was my dear friend for many years, you will 
permit me here to repeat the words which I wrote at his death. The 
lapse of fourteen years has only increased my conviction of their 
unqualified truth. " Faithful in duty, with broad views of educa- 
tional administration, suggestive, sagacious, energetic and public- 
spirited, he greatly promoted the advancement of academic and col- 
legiate education in this State; we would cherish affectionately the 
memory of his useful and honored life and would imitate his unosten- 
tatious and beneficent example." 

Many here present who were instructed by Joseph Alden and 
Edward Payson Waterbury can estimate far more correctly than I 
the value of the services of these, the last of the principals of this 
school, whom death has taken from us. 

I knew them both; Alden, sensitive, impulsive, positive, impatient 
of contradiction, energetic, industrious, honest to the core, having a 
kindly spirit, an idolater of the poet Bryant, a contemner of 
the poet Tennyson, a voluminous writer, a clear thinker, with a 
college record as professor and president for thirty-two years; he 
gave the last fifteen years of his life to you. As a teacher, he felt his 
influence over his scholars and made them feel his influence over 
them. He died at the advanced age of eighty-eight How I wish 
the dear, old man could have heard the other day the testimony of 
one of his most successful pupils when he said to me: "As a scholar 
in the Normal School, I appreciated the teaching of Dr. Alden fai 
less than I should, or than I now do. Every year my estimate of its 
value increases." No higher tribute can be paid to us as teachers 
than such words from our mature scholars. Many an instructor, 
under trial in his professional life, can appeal confidently from the 
undergraduates to the alumni. 

The monument to Edward Payson Waterbury is the beautiful 
building on its superb site which your college now occupies. We 
have the authority of his intimate friend. Dr. David Murray, for 
saying that " in a special manner and to an unusual degree that build- 
ing as it stands was due to him." Another monument to the indus- 
try, the zeal, the perseverance, the loyalty of Dr. Waterbury is the 
remarkable historical sketch and complete catalogue for forty years 
of your institution, of which, if I am not misinformed, he was the 
laborious author. Yet when your college building burns or when it 
crumbles, or when his catalogue is no longer extant, the influence 
of his teaching will survive. As long as the immortal life of Dr. 



34 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

Waterbury's " old boys " in the Albany Academy continues, as long 
as the young teachers whom he taught in this college exist, so long 
will his kindness, his courage, his manliness, his alert life, his 
inspiration as a teacher live in the memory and in the character and in 
the influence of his scholars. 

Death has consecrated these five of your principals; Page, Perkins, 
Woolworth, Alden and Waterbury. We may properly speak of 
them for they are already enrolled among the immortals. Two of 
your former principals still live. One of these two, I count among 
my jewels as a college professor. Of your honored and successful 
president, he will permit me to say that he has already carried on 
the good work which his predecessors initiated in their spirit and 
with the same success that they in their time achieved. 

Mr. Superintendent and Ladies and Gentlemen: 

In saying what I have about the founders and the principals of 
this Normal College, I am not unmindful of the many useful teachers, 
men and women, some of them eminent professors who have given 
and now give to you the best service of their lives in the faculty of 
this institution. I am not forgetful either of the illustrious record of 
your company of one hundred brave and earnest men, who in 1862, 
led by Professors Kimball and Husted, were mustered into the ser- 
vice of the United States for three years or the war, and who partici- 
pated in seventeen engagements ; besides the seventy-nine others who 
served with rank from brigadier to private. And what a record of 
usefulness, often unostentatious and unnoticed, do the pages of your 
catalogue present! With what remarkable fidelity have the great 
majority of your graduates kept the declaration which they made 
when they entered this College: "It is our intention to devote our- 
selves to teaching in the schools of the State." 

I am not forgetful of all these additional claims of this College to 
our attention and interest. But to none of them have I any per- 
sonal rio^ht to call your attention. Nulla pars fui. Onlv the courtesy 
of your president permits me to represent officially on this occa- 
sion the Regents of the University, and to express to you the cordial 
interest of the Board in this College and in all that appertains to it. 
In its organization, by its charter, the school was placed under the 
supervision of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the 
Regents of the University, by whom a committee of five persons 
were to be appointed and have been appointed from time to time, 
for fifty years, as an executive committee for the care, management 
and government of its afifairs. To this committee, composed of some 
of the leading citizens of this State and largely of some of the best 
citizens of Albany, who have given you their valuable services during 
all these fifty years, a debt is due which can never be paid. 

The Regents congratulate themselves and congratulate you at this 
time, that this School has become more and more a professional 
school, a true Normal College, where instruction is given in the 
science and art of teaching, where teachers are taught how to teach. 
I am sure that the authorities of this institution agree with me when 
I say that we would have this such a teachers' college as can furnish 



State Normal College 35 

professional facilities not to be obtained in ordinary high schools, 
academies or colleges. We desire that this institution shall do for 
college graduates and other persons of equivalent attainments who 
intend to become teachers in high schools and colleges what the 
Normal Schools of the past have done for persons of less extensive 
attainments who intended to become teachers in elementary schools. 
I believe that the teachers" profession itself demands this higher pro- 
fessional training. The Regents would unite earnestly with your 
accomplished president and the authorities of this College in main- 
taining at least one real Normal College in this State; a college which 
shall rank as a professional school side by side with our best law and 
medical and theological schools and, perhaps, surpass them all. 
We do not believe that normal instruction is a " delusion and a 
snare." As I have read the design of the College, as set forth in 
its recent annual circular, I have sympathized with every word of it; 
and I tell no news when I say that the design of the circular is real- 
ized in the College. 

Please accept, Air. Chairman and ladies and gentlemen, my thanks 
for your courteous patience in listening to my words ; and permit me 
through you to express to the authorities of this College the cordial 
congratulation of the Regents of the University, with expressions of 
our most sincere good wall. 



ADDRESS BY HON. OREN E. WILSON 

Ladies and Gentlemen : 

I congratulate you on the semi-centennial of the State Normal 
College. I congratulate you because of the sentiment this anniver- 
sary represents, because of the principle it emphasizes, because of the 
success it stands for. Fifty years of honorable and helpful progress 
is something to be proud of in any field of life and labor. In the 
field of education, it is at once a glory and a triumph. 

Popular education is the basis of American character; it is the 
uplifting element in American life. Of higher education — the aim 
of the college and the university — ^thoughtful Americans may hon- 
estly hold differing views; for some may urge, while others may 
question, its practical utility for those whose sphere is to be action, 
and whose aim is to be business success. But none will ques- 
tion the value of popular education; for knowledge is power, and 
power, rightly directed, makes a people intelligent, self-helpful, ambi- 
tious and prosperous. 

No praise, then, can be too great, no appreciation too strong, 
which is accorded those whose life work is the educating of American 
youth into w^ell-furnished and clear-thinking American men and 
women. 

That, for fifty years, has been the aim and object of the New York 
State Normal College. 

In its half-century of existence, what a host of workers for good 
it has trained and molded! What an army of devoted men and 



36 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

women it has sent out, to put into practice the precepts it has taught! 
1 yield to them a tribute of respect, of admiration and praise. 

And, speaking for the city, in which the institution that has thus 
shaped and finished them, has its home, I know that I voice the 
sentiment of our citizens, when I congratulate the Normal College 
on its fifty years of honorable existence and successful work. We 
are proud of it. We are grateful to it. We rejoice that we are per- 
mitted to witness its fiftieth anniversary day, and we prophesy for it 
a future of practical efTort, of progressive results, of honorable 
achievement and of unbounded success. 



COMMEMORATIVE POEM 

By Amelia Daley Alden, Class of '68 
New York State Normal School and College, 1844-1894 



Day unto day, night unto night, 

And lo, a century's flight! 

Swift following one by one 

Their course around the circle of the sun, 

The years become the past, the resonant key 

Of the far future's full-toned harmony. 

For each from man's endeavor 

To tune his nature to eternal law 

Doth one pure vibrant tone of sweetness draw, 

Reverberating ever 

Through all the ages in His ear who heard 

The morning stars rejoicing at his word. 

Man is a poor musician puzzling o'er 

A palimpsest beneath whose modern score 

The notes of some grand symphony, half erased. 

Show blurred through characters but lately traced. 

And when he would interpret 'tis by chance 

He finds a chord; all else is dissonance. 

Or if unwittingly 

His groping fingers touch the tonic key. 

In feeble minor set 

Seems human life, all longing and regret. 

Yet to the saddest key does one glad chord belong: 

God strikes the dominant and man is strong. 

Not always may we hear 

That chord of heaven sounding sweet and clear 
Above the world, for self and circumstance 
Make dull the spirit ; but there comes an hour 
When, pausing on our way to rest, perchance 
We know its voice of power. 

Oh, be it heard by us who hither come, 
Seeking our common home, 
The children of one mother fair and sweet. 
Who set our youthful feet 



State Normal College 37 

In paths of honor, bidding us be true 
To heaven and duty, and the task to do 
That lay before us, steadfast to the end, 
Unswerved alike by enemy or friend ! 

See how she wears her crown of fifty years ! 

Upon her face appears 

No trace of time, no line that grief hath wrought ; 

Her eyes are bright with truth — 

Starlike they beam as on our happy youth ; 

Her brow is beautiful with lofty thought. 

It seems but yesterday 

Since from her side we proudly went away, 

Bearing the scroll she gave, 

Serene in youth, in youth's high hope secure 

Of strength to struggle, patience to endure. 

And power to conquer even the mighty grave. 

We said a blithe good-morrow 

To our companions, knowing not what sorrow 

Or joy stood waiting silent by the way, 

To succor or to slay ; 

What snare was for us spread ; 

What foe in ambush waited for our tread ; 

What quiet path through sunshine winding fair 

Led swiftly to despair ; 

What shining angel by the dangerous track 

Lingered to turn our heedless footsteps back. 

Or, panoplied in lightnings of the Lord, 

Warn us from evil with his fiery sword. 

A noble ministry 

Was ours — to help the flower of youth unfold 
Its perfect beauty, ope the mines of gold 
In childhood's heart, 'mid dust of poverty 
To seek God's jewels hidden, trampled down, 
But fit to grace a crown. 

Thus by a common band 

Of purpose holden, working hand to hand, 

Real though unknown companions by the way, * 

To bind our hearts as one 

A silvery thread of service have we spun, 

Friends of long years and friends of yesterday. 

Now we return ; the subtle years have wrought 

Their spell with us and taught. 

By things withheld as well as things attained, 

To measure what is lost by what is gained, 

To find in seeming failure victory, 

In death eternity. 

O dear companions, teachers, pupils, friends ! 

With joy of meeting blends 

A yearning thought of them that come no more, 

For whom the noiseless door 

Of life has opened. Yet be tears unshed ; 

We know them living, though we call them dead. 



38 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

The soul that knows no guile, 

In honor stainless, scornful of a wile, 

That can not cherish memory of a wrong, 

Brave for the trembling, for the feeble strong, 

In friendship steadfast, wise in sympathy, 

And full of charity — 

Though earth were all, this soul in other lives 

Eternally survives. 

Ye who are with us still, 

Our living teachers, words are feeble things 

With which to speak the grateful thoughts that fill 

Our hearts to-day ; the springs 

Of love lie deep and touch the fount of tears. 

God give you many years ! 

O Alma Mater, linking them that sleep 

With them that wake, we keep 

Thy honor dear, thy past and future one. 

Oh, be thy future greater than thy past, 

Striking unto the last 

The dominant with God in unison ! 



THE WATCHWORD OF PROGRESS. 
By Daniel S. Gregory, D.D., LL.D., Class Graduated October 3, 1850 



We all recognize instinct as the guide of the animal in its activi- 
ties; reason, of man; omniscient prescience, of God. With Brown- 
ing we salute progress, always dependent upon reason, as 

" Man's distinctive mark alone; 
Not God's and not the beasts' ; God is, they are; 
Man partly is and partly hopes to be." 

And so, as marking successive stages in human life, social or 
national, we naturally look upon these centennial and semi-centen- 
nial gatherings and celebrations, that have come to be so common, 
as having a substantial reason in human progress, as well as a formal 
reason in the drift of the centuries. The great movement of Provi- 
dence, considered as a whole, may be regarded as made up of cycles 
of progress that associate themselves with successive cycles of 
time. 

This has had familiar illustration in the history of the Christian 
church, in which many of the ablest teachers have associated each of 
the centuries with some great phase of life or experience. The 
first century is the Seculum Apostoliawi (the Apostolic Age) ; the 
second, the Seculum Gnosticu?n (the Age of Gnosticism) ; the ninth, 
the Seculum Obscurum (the Dark Age) ; the tenth, the Seculum Tenebri- 
cosum (the Age of Intense Darkness) ; the eleventh, the Seculum 
Hildebrandicum (the Age of Hildebrand and the world-wide estab- 
lishment of the Papal Power) ; the thirteenth, the Seculum Scholasti- 
cum (the Age of Scholasticism) ; the fifteenth, the Seculum Reforma- 
tum (the Age of Reformation) 



State Normal College 39 

The fact that stands out most prominently in every such survey 
and naming of historical periods is, that the great forces of progress 
in human history and civilization are to be found in ideas. Ideas, 
ideal elements, ideal forces — rather than spears and swords, needle- 
guns and rifled cannon — have made human history, and made it by 
rousing man and making character and inspiring and nerving man- 
hood. And to read history aright, we need to understand that 
there are, as De Quincey puts it, two classes of ideas; ideas of knowl- 
edge and ideas of power — the one kind transient and powerless, the 
other abiding and power-giving. Similarly, Professor Lazarus, in 
his " Ideas of History," distinguishes ideas as ideas of perception or 
apprehension, or those that merely represent or reflect reality; and 
ideas of formation, or those that lay hold on human motive forces 
and furnish types and ideals for men and races. The formative ideas 
are the chief impelling powers of history. They are originated and 
grow up in men through the action of mental processes. They are 
the products of the constructive faculty, directed toward perfection. 
They appear as the ideals of beauty, goodness and religion. They 
operate in a threefold way: 

First. They help to perfect the personaHty of those in whom 
they originate, thus raising certain capable individuals above the con- 
trol of merely natural wants and the ordinary level of human life, 
and making them leaders, " the guides of their own age and pro- 
phets of better ages to come." 

Secondly. They show their power in the ideal works and the 
original inventions of these individuals. 

Thirdly. They reach their final and fullest expression in the social 
legal, political and rehgious arrangements and institutions,, through 
which they perpetuate and propagate themselves, and only through 
connection with which the vast majority of mankind are able to live 
in any measure in ideas, and so to be taken up into and inspired with 
the true life. 

These formative ideas, therefore, constitute the capital factor in 
the development of man and history, and the movements of the ages 
can only be understood in the Hght of them. 

Now it goes with the simple saying that the cycles of educational 
progress are marked and determined by such formative ideas. The 
time allotted me does not permit a survey of human progress in edu- 
cational ideas. The names of Comenius, Pestalozzi and their suc- 
cessors will suggest to you lines of thought that you can follow out 
for yourselves. I am here to-day to help you to catch, if may be, the 
watchword for the progress of the coming half century that opens 
with these exercises, and to help you to do something, if may be, 
toward setting the pace to that progress. I take it for granted, that 
every true Normal is intent on progress and upon deciding how it is 
to be attained. 

With us who have gathered here from the four quarters of the 
globe, in gratitude and devotion to the mother of us all, the vital 
question is: What is to be the formative idea in the progress of the 
coming fifty years? I think that you will agree with me that 



40 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

it can be ascertained and understood in the light alone of the forma- 
tive idea of the past fifty years. 

" Normal " was the watchword of fifty years ago, and " the normal 
idea/' first embodied for us in that grand teacher and grander man, 
David Perkins Page, has shaped the cycle now closed, the cycle of the 
Normal School. Education in the State of New York w^as chaos to 
begin with; that idea, embodied first in the Normal School, has gone 
far toward transforming the chaos that then existed in educational 
methods into a cosmos. 

In my boyhood, that famous book of the opening of the century, 
" The Columbian Orator," gave a vivid picture of the old-time peda- 
gogue. In a most fascinating dialogue between Master Ignoramus, 
the applicant teacher, and the school examiners, his attainments in 
mathematics and the sciences were exhibited. " Have you been 
through arithmetic?" was one of the questions. "I have been so 
fur that I thought I could see through," was the answer. " I have 
been as fur as division." "What is the shape of the earth?" v/as a 
question in science. " It is flat," was the answer. " Oh, no, science 
tells us that the world is round and turns round every day!" replied 
an examiner. " Well, if it's round, and turns round every day, why 
hasn't Deacon Smith's mill-pond got oversot and all the water 
spilled out long ago?" was the triumphant response of Master Ignor- 
amus. And that only slightly caricatures some of the men who 
came in the autumn, from the ditch and the plow, to " mend our 
pens," " set our copies," " do our sums " and wield the birch for our 
moral development and improvement, in the old red school-house 
of my early boyhood. 

Even so late as 1859, that distinguished writer on education, 
Henry Barnard, in an introduction to a " History of Education," 
wrote of our country, from Madison, Wisconsin: 

" Nowhere among civilized nations is the business of education 
pursued with such utter lack of system, such complete, unsympathiz- 
ing, independent, self-dependent, isolation of effort — though yet 
with a fervor, devotion, energy and natural capacity almost equally 
unrivaled." 

There was manifestly pressing need of the introduction and 
embodiment in training schools of the new idea, that the work of 
education should be done in the normal way and that teachers should 
be trained to do it so. 

The normal idea embraced various essential elements of progress 
that have exerted a powerful influence not only upon this State, but 
upon the whole country. 

It assumed, first, that there is a standard of education to be 
decided by the nature and needs of the mind, by the characteristics 
and progress of science, and by the requirements of the age and civi- 
lization — a norm by which all true education is to be decided and 
tested. It further assumed that there must be method in education — 
and that a natural and rational method — in imparting knowledge, 
and in training and disciplining faculty. It assumed finally that 
organization, and that right, complete and effective, must be added 



State Normal College 41 

to norm and natural method in order to the accompHshment of the 
best and complete results. 

The half century has brought much of improvement. The prin- 
ciples that David Perkins Page embodied in his " Theory and Prac- 
tice of Teaching," to furnish inspiration to teachers at the opening 
of tlie period, have grown into the science of pedagogics, a systematic 
study that with its various branches is sufficient to constitute a sepa- 
rate discipline in some of our universities. Master Ignoramus no 
longer applies for a place in our city and village schools. In fact, 
with his old-fashioned birch, his intuitional arithmetic and his flat and 
stationary earth, he has been ruled out of the remotest schools in the 
backwoods districts of our Empire State. 

But very much yet remains to be done. As in the history of civi- 
lization in general, so in education, there is always, first, a period 
of assemblage for the gathering of the rough elements or material 
to be organized; then, a period of tentative organization; and finally, 
a period of development. 

We may, perhaps, look upon ourselves in thi.j Empire State, as 
having come to the close of the second period. We are entering 
upon the third. 

In the tentative organization of educational elements and forces in 
the progress toward this phase, extreme, incomplete and irrational 
methods have naturally, and too often, asserted and assumed control. 
Various tendencies of the times have encouraged such results. 

The drift of the half century toward the exclusive methods of phy- 
sical science — due to the extraordinary development of the natural 
sciences, and the myriad bread-and-butter and money-making appli- 
cations based upon them — has tended to turn the public mind away 
from the infinite superiority of manhood to money; and the minds of 
educators from the need of broad and profound views of the nature 
of mind with which education fundamentally deals and of the quali- 
ties of manhood whose elevation is education's chief aim and supreme 
end. It has diverted the attention of our leaders from the grander 
subjects of history and literature, as embodying and presenting the 
achievement and thought of man, the greatest creature in God's uni- 
verse ; from the mental sciences, as dealing with the nature of man and 
with the mind to be educated; and from philosophy w^iich deals 
with the ultimate principles underlying all knowledge and action and 
all education. Behold, to-day, as a result, man and the universe are 
widely looked upon as the product of matter and motion; religion 
as an evolution of belief in ghosts; psychology as a mere branch of 
physical science, " the psychology^ of the scalpel ; and our practical 
philosophy has largely become, in the phrase of Carlyle — the philos- 
ophy of dirt." 

The old training of the mere mechanical memory — which prc- 
su]3posed no more than animal brain in either teacher or pupil — 
gave way to the training of the powers of perception and obsen'ation 
and of the simpler processes of tliinking, notal:)ly tlie mathematical 
processes, and to the doing by rule and testing by rule — all of which 
was so far apparently great gain; but in many cases the over- 



42 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

shadowing influence of rule and method has unquestionably tended 
to mechanism, rather than to freedom of thought, while the over- 
mastering necessity for organization has resulted in as many cases 
in increase of machinery, rather than in free and well-ordered rational 
action. 

In short, our formative principle, as it has been understood and 
embodied, has shown itself too narrow and too narrowing, and, there- 
fore, as needing to be supplemented and broadened by some new 
principle that shall infuse into it life and inspiration. It has been of 
great value, confessedly, as a stepping-stone to something higher, 
if there be something higher to come ; but if there be nothing higher 
forthcoming, it promises to open the way out into a universe that 
is to be simply an infinite tread-mill, on which teachers and taught 
will alike grow weary and falter and faint and fall by the way, and 
civilization die of the cramming process. 

It goes without saying, that the new principle that is to supplement 
the old — or, rather, which is to be the further development of the 
old — ■ must have in it a vital and vitalizing influence and must call 
out in men a power that never wearies and an activity that never 
becomes drudgery, and must direct effort along a line of movement 
that can never become a tread-mill to the soul. 

That new formative principle — that may well mark the transition 
from Normal School to Normal College — may be found in the crea- 
tive or constructive method. That, as I hope to show, is a principle 
that will not only justify a new departure, but will al^o greatly widen 
and illumine the educational horizon and correspondingly elevate 
the educational platform. 

I would not be understood as yielding to any one in my estimate 
of the importance of the moral and religious element in education; 
but here we are dealing only with the intellectual element. Looking 
upon things exclusively from that point of view, however much pro- 
gress may have been made in the theory and practice of education, 
the education of the present age is still sadly at fault, inasmuch as 
it neither recognizes nor attempts to develop and train the supreme 
intellectual faculty of construction, and inasmuch as it ignores the 
creative or constructive idea. Now that creative or constructive 
idea is what I desire to propose as the watchword of progress for 
the Normal College in the coming fifty years; as the normal idea 
has been of the progress of the Normal School in the last fifty years. 

In the brief discussion possible at this time I can only state the 
points that I desire to make in presenting the constructive idea, 
and barely suggest the lines of their unfolding. 

The points that I desire to make are as follows: 

I. The constructive or creative faculty is the supreme intellectual 
faculty, and it has been practically ignored. 

II. The creative or constructive idea based upon it furnishes the 
vitalizing and formative idea needed to lift educational work to its 
proper plane and to make it a delight rather than a drudgery, a 
development rather than a cram. 



State Normal College 43 

III. The creative or constructive method should be consciously 
and intelligently adopted as the method of the Normal College and 
Normal teacher for the coming half century. 

I. The constructive, or creative, or system-making faculty, the 
supreme intellectual faculty, has been practically ignored in past work 
of education, yet I venture to affirm: 

1st. That there is such a faculty, and that it is supreme in the 
intellectual sphere. Though you will not find it in its place in the 
books of psychology, any proper inspection of the facts of man's 
intellectual furnishing will show you that it is in its proper place in the 
human mind. 

We all recognize in mind, intellect and sensibility and will. Now 
the governing idea of the intellect, to confine ourselves to that, is 
knowledge, as the governing ideas of the sensibility and will, are feel- 
ing and endeavor or action. Pyschologists are substantially agreed 
that there are three fundamental forms of intellectual activity in know- 
ing; first, that exercised in the acquisition of simple knowledges; sec- 
ondly, that exercised in the conservation of knowledges; thirdly, that 
exercised in the comparison or elaboration of knowledges in thought. 
The first of these activities is accounted for by an acquisitive or 
presentative or cognitive faculty — including under it the powers of 
internal perception (consciousness), of external perception (sense), 
and concomitant perception (intuition in the strict sense) ; the 
second, by memory or a representative or conservative faculty — 
including under it the powers of retention, reproduction, reimaging 
(imagination in the lower sense), and recognition; the third, by a 
faculty of relations, or a thought, elaborative, or comparative, 
faculty — including the powers of conception, judgment, and reason- 
ing. The claim here made is that the pyschologists generally have 
failed to recognize and put into its right place a fourth form of intel- 
lectual activity — the highest and most important of all — its activity 
in gathering up, grouping and compacting the results of all the 
other powers — the knowledges and thoughts — in systems. This 
fourth form of intellectual activity is that which is exercised in build- 
ing the Principias and Iliads, the Oration on the Crown and the 
locomotive engine, and should be accounted for by a creative or 
constructive faculty. 

Man acquires knowledge, — he has a cognitive faculty; he keeps 
knowledges for use as occasion may require — he has a conservative 
faculty; he elaborates knowledges in the processes of comparison or 
thought — he has a thought or comparative faculty — that is the 
natural system so far. Are we justified in adding to these a sys- 
tem-making or constructive faculty? 

Now psychology — which is simply the science of human nature 
on its mental side — deals with facts, and is, therefore, an inductive 
science. The inductive method requires, first, the exact observation 
of the facts in the case, in order that the investigator may know what 
they really are; secondly, the correct interpretation of the observed 
facts, embracing the apprehension of their precise meaning, their 



44 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

careful classification, and their rational explanation by referring them 
to the forces or faculties that produce them. 

Now, observe how some of the thinkers have treated, the facts of 
intellectual creation or construction. Sir William Hamilton calls 
attention to the fact that philosophers have divided the imagination 
into two — what they call the reproductive and the productive. He 
then proceeds to explain away the productive or creative element, 
for which he has no place in his system. 

Noah Porter, who among psychologists has taken what is per- 
haps the most systematic view of what Hamilton calls the product- 
ive imagination, treats of construction or creative w^ork under 
"imagination" as a phase of the "representative power;" and he, 
too, like Hamilton, explains it away, declaring that " its creative 
function is rendered possible by the union of the thinking power 
with the imaging power." In this connection he distinguishes what 
he styles the poetic, the philosophic, the ethical and the religious 
imagination. But after he has used the imaging and the thought 
powers to the utmost in accounting for the facts of constructive or 
creative work, he unconsciously finds an unexplained residuum of 
the highest rational activity — in grouping, molding and fusing facts 
and truths into system — vastly more important than all that he has 
accounted for, and which must be scientifically explained by an ade- 
quate power of construction. The unquestionable existence of this 
residuum leads President Porter to add to the elements that belong, 
according to his analysis, to the thought faculty, a chapter of two 
pages in length, on " Scientific Arrangement," or " System," which 
has no place in his system of the human intellect, and no place in 
his book, except as a protest against his own scientific analysis and 
induction, and a proof of its incompleteness. 

Professor Alexander Bain, in his " Senses and Intellect," has 
furnished, perhaps, the most distinct recognition of the facts, the 
process and the faculty of construction. He emphasizes " construct- 
iveness in science," " practical construction " and " fine art construc- 
tion " or " imagination ; " but, unfortunately, after full recognition of 
what he terms " imagination, creation, constructiveness, origination," 
he explains them all away, practically after the manner of Hamilton 
and Porter, by referring them all to " constructive association," 
which does its work by the ordinary principles of representation, as 
connected with memory. Nevertheless he is right in placing them 
at the summit of the powers of intellect as the only proper and ade- 
quate explanation of what must be admitted to be the highest facts 
of intellectual activity. 

2d. Assuming then, that the facts compel us to recognize such 
a faculty, its nature may be brought out and its general defini- 
tion arrived at by a brief inspection and statement of the elements 
that enter into the correct conception of the work of construction. 

The constructive process involves, first, an intelHgent grouping of 
facts and truths. The ancients inclined to look upon creative or 
constructive work as too much the result of a sort of divine mad- 



State Normal College 45 

ness. The Greek sometimes brought the afflatus of the poet and the 
prophet and the ravings of the madman together, as if of common 
origin. The modern tendency has been to put all the higher work 
of construction imder the imaging power, or the reproductive 
imagination, and thus to connect it very closely with the phantasies 
of opium-eating, of intoxication or of semi-lunacy. The very men- 
tion of genius makes the average man think of the vagaries of Poe 
and De Quincey and Chatterton and Byron and Shelley. The com- 
mon mind would make creative work blind work, imagination in 
the lower sense. But the power, if it is to be judged scientifically, 
by its products, must be, in all its forms, intelligent and rational, 
and not unintelligent and irrational — in short, it must be the highest 
possible power of the intelligence, requiring an acuteness and a com- 
prehensiveness of vision quite beyond the range of all ordinary 
forms of thought. 

The constructive process involves, secondly, as its most important 
element, the organization of the materials of fact and truth, intelli- 
gently grouped together, into systems according to definite laws. 
This is not mere composition, however intelligent, but combination 
into an organic whole of thought. In poetry this is the work of the 
esemplastic power, of Coleridge, by which the soul fuses the mass 
of beautiful material into the organized and complete art product. 
It is not a mere chance array of facts and truths; there is a definite 
law that governs in the construction of every such system. The 
organizing law of scientific system renders it impossible that there 
should be more than one correct system from one point of view. 
So art criticism assumes a law of procedure in accordance with 
which every genuine production of art must be fashioned. Hence 
emerges the general definition, as follows: 

The constructive power is that faculty of the intellect by which 
man gathers up his knowledges gained by the lower intellectual 
powers, and groups and organizes them, according to definite laws, 
into systems constituting his highest thoughts. 

The three fundamental phases of idea — the true, beautiful and 
good, recognized from the days of Plato — give the forms and laws 
of the constructive faculty. Man intellectual interprets the universe 
and constructs and interprets systems from these three points of 
view. Confining attention to his own creations, he may fashion 
systems of truth, or scientific systems; systems of the beautiful, or 
aesthetic or artistic systems; and systems of the good, or practical 
systems. These three forms of construction require three corres- 
ponding forms of the power — the powers of scientific, artistic and 
practical construction. 

I can do nothing more than give the roughest and baldest state- 
ment of what I mean by each of these powers. 

Scientific construction or constructiveness may be defined as the 
power of the constructive faculty by which the man groups and 
organizes his knowledges, w^hether of objects or relations, as truth, in 
systems according to the law of the true. It is also the power by 
which man interprets truth as embodied in scientific systems and the 



46 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

systems of nature. Truth furnishes at once the point of view and 
the condition of all scientific construction. 

Aesthetic or artistic construction may be defined as the power of 
the constructive faculty by which man groups and organizes his 
knowledges, as embodying or manifesting beauty, in systems accord- 
ing to the law of the beautiful. It is also the power by which man 
interprets and appreciates beauty as embodied in aesthetic systems, 
whether artificial or in nature. The point of view, conditions and 
laws of procedure, in artistic construction, are determined by beauty. 

Practical construction may be defined as the power of the con- 
structive faculty by which man groups and organizes his knowledges, 
as good, or as means to ends, in systems according to the laAv of 
the good, or of adaptation of means to ends. The good gives shape 
to all practical construction — to inventions, plans of action and of 
life. Practical constructiveness views all its material, whether of 
ideas or of forces, in its relation to some form of the good or as 
means to some beneficent, wise or righteous end, centering in the 
experience of sentient, rational or moral beings. 

These are clearly the fundamental forms of intellectual construc- 
tion and in them I present you with the unrecognized power — ^the 
lost power — in our psychological system and in our educational 
system — or, if you please, the development out of the old. The 
relation of its training to a complete intellectual culture, of the high- 
est order, is self-evidently that of the one great and all essential ele- 
micnt. Such culture without it is an absolute impossibility — an 
absurdity as patent as physical flight without wings, or breathing 
without air, or development without the spark of life and inspiration. 
It is the only power that can save us from the infinite cram and 
wastefulness and drudgery of the methods at present so largely in 
vogue, and give to hard study, in the future, any chance for exist- 
ence in our higher schools in the competition with the often more 
intellectual pursuits of foot ball and base ball and boating. 

11. The creative or constructive idea, which I give you as the 
watchword of the coming education, as the new vitalizing and forma- 
tive idea, if the coming education is to be at the fore of the world, 
is based upon this supreme intellectual faculty of construction. 

1st. We are met, upon the threshold of our inquiry, by the old 
objection that the creative or constructive power is not cultivable. 
It is the gift of nature to the favored few. It comes out into full 
power and accomplishes its tasks without training or in spite of 
training, as by a divine impulse. 

That, you know, is the stock objection that Lord Macaulay urged 
against logical and rhetorical training in forming the orator and the 
literary men. It is the old classical notion that the poet, the orator, 
in short, anybody of distinction, must be born and not made or 
trained. The objection is equally valid against any and all train- 
ing. Perhaps John Ruskin presents it more effectively, when he dis- 
tinguishes between " composition, the work of the fancv. and the 
true imagination associative, the grandest mechanical power that the 



State Normal College 47 

human intelligence possesses." " This operation of mind," he 
writes, " so far as I can see, is absolutely inexplicable." And, again, 
" imagination is neither to be taught, nor by any efforts to be 
attained, nor by any acuteness of discernment dissected or analyzed." 
To all of which it may be replied, first, that the main assumptions of 
Ruskin are not strictly true; since he has himself given sufftcient 
dissection and analysis of imagination for all practical purposes, 
and since the experience of multitudes of the men of the highest 
genius, from Aristotle, Aeschylus and Demosthenes to Bacon, Mil- 
ton and Gladstone, shows the marvellous power of intelligent train- 
ing and exercise in its unfolding; and, secondly, if the assumptions 
of Ruskin were true, the work of composition is still the appropriate 
preparation for the higher work, and brings out the higher power 
where it exists; so that training in that is, therefore, practically the 
development of the higher power. The sum of the matter is that 
there are, no doubt, special endowments bestowed upon individ- 
uals, so that it would be arrant folly to assume that all men are bom, 
not only free, but equal in all their powers, especially the creative; 
while at the same time it holds that all men of normal make and 
calibre have, in some measure, the apprehension and appreciation 
of things true, beautiful and good, and of these in system. If the 
germ is to be developed in any case, it must be dealt with in accord- 
ance with the universal law of exercise. That law is, that the 
development of any intelligent power — whether highest or lowest — 
depends on its exercise; while its best development depends upon its 
intelligent, systematic and abundant exercise. 

Nor is there any valid ground for the common view, that the 
ages of genius, the creative ages, have, as it were, dropped right 
down out of heaven, and have, therefore, had no firm rooting in 
that which is natural in this world. They have rather been rooted 
in human nature and the circumstances of the age, and have sprung 
up, under the always presiding and controlling Providence, by the 
direct exercise and development of what belongs to human nature. 
This will appear from a glance at the creative ages in modern Eng- 
lish history. The sixteenth century was an age of surpassing poetic 
genius, because it had the grandest possible training in artistic con- 
struction. The printing press had thrown the supreme thought, the 
best literature of all the world — the early English, Italian, Latin, 
Greek, Hebrew and Teutonic — into the English mind ; and the entire 
intellectual power of the age was called perforce to the task of appre- 
hending, grasping and putting it all into available form. England 
became the artistic workshop of the world, with two hundred poets 
working away as for life, and produced libraries of poetry and poetry 
so-called, of every conceivable form and quality, from the " Faery 
Queen," of Spenser, and the tragedies of Shakespeare, to the " Poly- 
olbion," of Drayton. From the opening of the seventeenth century 
onward was an age of scientific construction in England. The print- 
ing press had thrown into the mind of the intelligent masses the vast 
stores of scientific fact and truth which literary explorers had brought 
back from the libraries of the centuries; voyagers by ship from all the 



48 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

nations of the earth, and investigators, by telescope, from the wide 
reaches of the universe; and the age groaned under the long, slow 
intellectual effort to apprehend these treasures and grasp and explain 
and systematize and make them available for mankind. It was an 
age to call forth Bacon, Newton and Boyle and all the giants greater 
and less; for England was one grand scientific workshop. From 
the closing half of the eighteenth century the age has been one of 
practical construction. In settling, civilizing, governing, molding, 
developing and bringing together into unity one-fourth or one-third 
of the habitable globe with its inhabitants, tasks, as vast in their 
variety and compass as those thrown upon English minds by the 
inherited literary and scientific stores in previous centuries, have 
fallen to the hands of the English-speaking peoples of this age. 
The English lands have been the inventive workshop of the world, 
out of which, by the mightly hosts of inventors and practical men, 
great and small, have come all the wonders of modern intercourse 
and of this modern material civilization. It would appear, there- 
fore, from this rapid generalization, that the creative genius of the 
English race has not come down by special miracle out of heaven, 
but has been developed, by the largest possible and most varied 
exercise, out of the constructive germ in the Englishman; and that 
the form it has taken on has been determined by the special kind of 
constructive task to which the centuries have summoned it. All of 
which proves the constructive power cultivable. 

It need not be proved that there has been no general 
conscious aim in modern education, to develop the constructive 
power in any of its forms. The existence of the faculty has 
not been distinctly recognized; and how should it find 
place in the systems of education? As a consequence the 
power has been called forth only by providential impulses, com- 
ing fitfully (to all human appearance), now in one form and now 
in another, and leaving each of the different periods with an incom- 
plete and one-sided development. In this omission of an essential 
element may, perhaps, be found one reason for the unpractical 
results of the educational work, especially in the colleges and higher 
schools, of which business men complain. They object that it does 
not give men the power to see things in their connection and sys- 
tem, and to grasp and handle things and forces as means in com- 
passing industrial, intellectual or moral ends. In the estimation of 
many broad-minded men, it is a standing disgrace to our higher 
schools, that they turn out men practically helpless and unfit for 
accomplishment and production along any of the lines of effort, sci- 
entific, artistic and practical. May not this be the reason also, that 
the young men turn from study to athletics, to relieve the mono- 
tony and find something worth getting or doing? 

These thoughts may have served to lay bare the great defect in 
present educational methods, that needs to be remedied, if men are 
to be trained for the highest intellectual work. Manifestly the only 
common-sense way of remedying the defect is by incorporating a 
training in the " creative method " in all the work of our higher 




GEORGE R. PERKINS

State Normal College 49 

schools. Adequate provision ought, assuredly, to be made for the 
development of the supreme intellectual faculty in all its three forms. 
That there is no insuperable obstacle in the way of this.-is evident 
from the fact, already presented, that each of these powers has its defi- 
nite laws. The main practical hinderances will probably be found in 
the general prejudice in favor of the traditional method ; in the mul- 
titude of subjects crammed into the school curriculum; and in the 
narrowness or incapacity of many of those set to do or to control 
the work of education. 

In fine, the objection to the introduction of the constructive idea, 
carried out to the full, would keep men forever savages or idiots, 
in keeping them always down to nature. Let us be rational and 
recognize the truth, that genius must be born in a man, but it takes 
training or education of the right kind to bring it to the best devel- 
opment. And let us accept also that other truth, that, there is a 
spark of genius in every normal human soul; and that if it does not 
in some limited way flame out and up, it is because we, with our 
educational wet-blankets, proceed straightway to quench it. 

2d. But not only is the creative or constructive power cultivable, 
but — ^what is vastly more important — I think it can be demon- 
strated that through its cultivation alone can the highest success be 
attained in cultivating the lower intellectual powers and in fitting 
man to accomplish something worth his while in the world. 

Accomplishment — not knowledge, nor feeling, merely — is the goal 
for man. His rationality consists supremely in his being capable 
of setting before himself ends of action and intelligently pursuing 
them. Knowledge may aid him in finding or fixing upon ends 
and in planning to attain them; feeling may furnish him powerful 
springs of action, powerful impulses toward these ends; but these 
are only accessory and subordinate to accomplishment. Man 
knows and feels in order that he may be a doer, maker, constructor, 
builder; and he becomes the normal and ideal man, only as he sub- 
ordinates knowledge and feeling to this higher aim and manhood. 
God has made him to be the lower, only in order that he may become 
the higher. From the intellectual side he is super-eminently a con- 
structive being. Confining our thought to the intellectual life and 
activity, it is patent, therefore, that the constructive power, when 
given its normal place, subsidizes or takes up into itself all the other 
intellectual powers and activities. 

But something more and better is true, and that is that the con- 
structive power alone, when properly developed and trained, never 
wearies and never fossilizes; and that it alone can keep any and every 
other form of intellectual effort from becoming a weariness and a 
drudger}^, and the one who uses these powers from becoming a 
drudge and a fossil. 

Memory — the power that has so long been made the main 
dependence in education — ^wearies when used mechanically and sim- 
ply for the sake of gathering up so much treasure, whether for the 
sake of having it or of reciting it. The honor man in one of our 
great institutions, once put the thing patly for me on this wise: "I 



5© • Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

passed through the four years of hard drudgery. The professors 
poured in and poured in knowledge, on the whole range of subjects 
in the curriculum; and when I came to the end of the course, they 
asked me to pour it out, and I poured it all out, and it staid out." He 
was disgusted with it all, and done with it all forever. And he was 
the honor man! And the great, if not the only, lesson learned in 
college, by many a generous young man, is the lesson of learning 
something for to-day and hastening to forget it over night; just 
as the business man learns the same lesson with less trouble and pain 
by reading his daily paper. And so nine-tenths of a student's life 
's often wasted, and worse than wasted; for all such knowledge is 
rubbish — mechanically gained, mechanically held, if held at all, and 
mechanically lost in the end — because there are no connecting links 
and no unifying principle in it all. And the longer a man drudges 
his memory in that way the more mechanical becomes the process 
and the more a machine and the more worthless a machine becomes 
the man. God never intended us to be such drudges and spend- 
thrifts. 

How different everything becomes when one is trained to gather 
his knowledges in system and for the ends of construction or of 
accomplishment! Each fact and truth has at once its own place 
and acquires a lasting value; the mechanical memory gives place to 
the philosophical; memory ceases to be a drudge and becomes the 
willing and glad servitor of reason and life and enlarging manhood; 
and each system of facts and truths, little or great, takes care of itself 
and is ready to become part of a greater system and unity. 

As a remarkably brilliant young man once said to me: "I don't 
have to remember a subject when properly presented in its con- 
structed system and relations, or when I have so studied it; when- 
ever my attention is called to it, it thinks itself over again; it remem- 
bers itself." And so in all spheres the constructive faculty trans- 
figures memory. 

In the efifort to get away from the drudgery of memory, we have 
attempted in these later years to throw the burden upon the powers 
of perception. But perception like memory is finite — almost infi- 
nitely limited — and like memory it wearies. And then the animals 
can beat us in keenness of sense-perception — the eagle, the pointer 
and the rest of them outranging us in vision, smell, hearing, taste and 
touch. Besides, your specialist in perception gets so narrow in his 
devotion to the specks and the pin-points of his little bailiwick, that 
he becomes blind and deaf and dumb to all the rest of the great 
universe of God. And even if he take and ply the microscope and 
the telescope and the spectroscope and the scalpel and all the rest, 
in the pursuit of facts — the end of it all is to add a wearier burden 
to the memory already drudged to death. And so every living 
fountain in the man dries up, and he becomes in the end a fossil or 
the semblance of a machine. He becomes the victim of useless and 
deadly knowledge — the victim of cram again. 

Now let the constructive power take this power of perception 
into its service, setting to it ends for accomplishment, planning for 



State Normal College 51 

the rational gathering of materials for use in gaining these ends, 
and training it to bind all its acquirements together into systems of 
fact and truth, small or great, that will take care of themselves, while 
they become accessions of power for new and further progress and 
achievement; let this be done, and the perceptive powers are regene- 
rated and transfigured, and have wings unwearying as the eagle's 
given to them. 

Of late some have turned to the higher thought-powers to escape 
the drudgery and the mechanical results; but with little better out- 
come. The ordinary faculties of conception, judgment and reason- 
ing are finite — infinitely narrow breadthwise. Notably limited and 
limiting do they become when used for themselves alone, and with- 
out any outlook toward the larger purposes of life and accomplish- 
ment Groups of conceptions, strings of judgments, lines of rea- 
soning are little worth so long as they are simply conceptions, judg- 
ments and reasonings standing alone, or simply groups, strings and 
lines by themselves. The processes of thought by which they are 
reached become a weariness to the flesh, and the results mere lumber 
and dead weight to crush out the exhausted memory. John Stuart 
Mill is, perhaps, a fair illustration of the utmost that can be achieved 
along that course — and of him one of the ablest English thinkers 
has justly said that he never enunciated a false statement for which 
he did not, in his own writings, furnish a refutation. The most 
wooden of all wooden things is wooden logic; the dryest and deadest 
•of all human machines is the man enamored of logic for its own 
sake. 

But let the constructive power take the logical powers in hand; 
let it wield the inductive and deductive methods in the interests of 
system, in science or philosophy, or shape the wealth of aesthetic 
materials into the artistic creations of art and literature, or make 
application of ascertained facts, truths and principles in practical 
systems of invention and building; and let it direct the gathering of 
all the material, true, beautiful and good, for these higher ends, and 
then exhausted memory will ceaselessly renew its youth and remem- 
ber without trying to remember, and the jaded powers of perception 
will receive new inspiration and perpetual impulse and will lay 
eager and effortless grasp on all the world of pertinent facts, and the 
processes of thought will take to them exhaustless and irrepressible 
wings, and move spontaneously and joyfully along all systematic 
and logical lines; and the whole man will become a resistless power 
In effort and achievement and a builder with the eternal for eternity. 

Now, although it must be admitted that this supreme power has 
been left practically without conscious recognition, and consequently 
without intelligent training in the past cycles, it must be admitted, 
with thankfulness, that like every other God-given endowment of the 
soul it has often and widely forced unconscious recognition. So 
true is this, that I have been accustomed to measure the success of 
educators by the extent to which they have unconsciously laid hold 
of this hidden source of power and availed themselves of it in their 
-work. I would be willing to leave any intelligent and successful 



52 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

teacher to test his own work by it, assured that he would find in it 
the true test and measure of his success. 

III. And now I want to appeal to you, who, with myself, have 
represented the normal idea in the Normal School, for this past half 
century, to aid those now in charge here in giving the constructive 
or creative method its rightful place in the Normal College, at this 
opening of the second half century of our beloved Alma Mater. 

I am sure that the time is fully ripe for it. More than ten years 
ago Professor Felix Adler gave, in the Princeton Review, a glimpse 
of "A New Experiment in Education," in the application of the 
" creative method " in the Workingman's School and Free Kinder- 
garten of New York. I took occasion to call attention in one of our 
great reviews, to that article, and to say that I looked upon this ''move- 
ment as one of the indications of a new departure, of which, unless 
some of the signs of the times fail, the coming generation will hear 
much more than the present generation. The experiment referred 
to may be somewhat halting and only half coherent, as was the case 
with the original Pestalozzian movement; but the educational con- 
sciousness will doubtless clear up more and more, until the * creative 
method,' in its full sense, finds its place, where it belongs, as the 
supreme thing in intellectual training." When I wrote that I had 
for years been making use of that method in its wider sense and 
application, while investigating and formulating its principles. 

The observation and experience of all the years since I left these 
halls — gained in public school and academic work, in the subsequent 
collegiate and seminary courses, in the years of an active ministry, 
and in the chairs of professor and president in college and university 
work — have made the conviction absolute that the young are glad 
to be trained to set before themselves and to accomplish some 
rational and complete task — glad to be makers and builders, 
and ever ready to respond to new and larger demands upon their 
constructive faculty along any of its lines. I feel quite certain '(that 
I know that they want to grasp things in system, scientific, artistic 
or practical, and that in this way their acquirements are made to 
think themselves over again — in fact, to remember and retain them- 
selves. When, four years ago, after five years of enforced retire- 
ment from intellectual work, I returned to it again, I turned aside 
under the pressure of this conviction to a work before practically 
unattempted — the work of systematizing human knowledge within 
the covers of a great dictionary, so that any one who wishes to know 
the system of things and of knowledge may find there a guide to it, 
prepared with the aid of the latest light of science, literature, art 
and philosophy. 

Professor Shaler, of Harvard University, when I told him of the 
plan, said to me: "If you carry that plan out ever so imperfectly, 
the results will be immeasurably in advance of anything that has here- 
tofore been done." That has been substantially the response of 
every one who has turned attention to the matter. 

And now let me say that I have spoken thus freely of this part 
of my work in devotion to a great idea, in order that I may further 



State Normal College 53 

say that I come to-day gratefully to lay that part of my work at the 
feet of this Alma Mater, because here I received the inspiration and 
impulse that have led up to it. My own experience, begun forty- 
four years ago when I left these normal halls, has in all these years 
been demonstrating to me that the creative method is after all 
involved in the true and complete normal idea; only our idea regard- 
incr the true norm needed to be broadened and completed. What 
is rejquired now is the full recognition of this new pbase of our 
formative idea and the introduction of intelligent and systematic 
training in accordance with it. To the task of aiding educators in 
doing this, I hope, if Providence spares m^y life and opens the way, 
to devote my remaining days. 

Now the rational method of training the constructive faculty is 
the same as that of training any other power. It is by intelligently, 
systematically and abundantly exercising that power. The exercise 
must be intelligent; for this infinite beating about the bush in the 
dark and for nothing is worse than useless — it is positively harmful. 
The teacher must know the power and its possibilities and laws, and 
direct his work accordingly. It must be systematic; for only by 
system can the maximum of results be reached with the minimum 
of effort. The procedure must be from the simple to the complex, 
from lower part to higher part, until the whole field is intelligently 
compassed; and that completeness must be the goal clearly in view 
from the beginning. It must be abundant, taking in the whole 
work and period of education. The bee, building his cell by instinct, 
reaches perfection unconsciously on the first trial; man, building by 
reason, must make progress through many attempts and failures, 
and approximate perfection only as the result of innumerable 
repetitions. 

Moreover, the creative method must proceed in the usual two- 
fold rational way: First, by direction of the pupil in studying the 
constructions of others as constructions ; secondly, by training him to 
construct for himself — and it must push both these educative pro- 
cesses along the three lines of scientific, artistic and practical system. 

The starting point in this training is in the study of the construc- 
tions of others as constructions. This should always be accompanied 
with constant exercises in construction. Just here is where much 
of our educational work — especially in our higher institutions — 
utterly fails. There is an infinite difference between the critical, 
microscopic and painful study that characterizes the present methods, 
in which there is nothing educative in any high sense, ahd the large- 
minded study of constructions, as such, that is required, if the results 
are to be educative. 

Let me suggest — rather than present — an illustration of what I 
mean by an example drawn from one of the three great forms of 
system. 

A poem is an artistic system and should be studied, if at all, as an 
artistic construction. Especially should the masterpieces of the 
great poets be so studied. Such study requires a knowledge of the 
principles of artistic construction, and of the canons of artistic criti- 



54 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

cism based upon them. It requires a knowledge of the nature, kinds^ 
principles and laws of poetry, and an appreciation of them. It 
requires a knowledge of the nature, environment, development and 
character of the individual poet studied — say of Homer or of Shakes- 
peare or of Milton or of Tennyson. 

But what really happens by the present method? The boy studies 
the Iliad, for example. He ordinarily gets out of it a little mediocre 
Greek mythology and lexicography, a little indifferent Greek ety- 
mology, a modicum of halting Greek prosody, and an infinitesimal 
amount of superficial Greek syntax; but absolutely nothing of Epic 
poetry, nothing of Greek inspiration and genius, nothing of Homer, 
nothing of the Iliad. Just a little parsing and a little analysis, and 
a mass of useless lumber — that is all. 

The same is true of Shakespeare. We have long lists of editions 
of his plays prepared for the schools on just this plan — or rather 
this no plan — the study of which in all cases has the same outcome. 

Now suppose we take one of Shakespeare's plays — say Julius 
Caesar — and see how it should be studied constructively. Let the 
teacher begin with helping the pupil to gain for himself an idea of 
the nature and laws of dramatic poetry, and of tragedy in particular, 
including the fact that any example of such tragedy always has some 
one action that constitutes its organic or organizing idea, by means 
of which all its thoughts and facts are organized into a complete 
whole. 

Then let him read and re-read the poem until he has, with the 
teacher's suggestive help, found its organic idea " the Death Struggle 
of the old Roman Republicanism." That will give the key to every 
act in the play. 

Let him use that key. As usual he will find two stages in the 
action as a whole: First, the conspiracy for the murder of Caesar; 
secondly, the military death-struggle. Proceeding in his study, 
he will find in act I, the Inception of the Conspiracy to destroy 
Caesar; in act II, The Organization of the Conspiracy; in act III, 
The Execution of the Conspiracy and Death of Caesar, and the 
scattering of the hostile elements after Antony has prepared by his 
oration over the dead Caesar for the whirlwind of reaction. Act IV 
will give the gathering of the Military Forces of the Death-struggle 
by the opposing leaders; and act V, the Death-struggle itself and the 
Death of Republicanism at Philippi. 

Returning again to act I — The Inception of the Conspiracy — let 
them trace the progress of Shakespeare in his consummate art as 
scene after scene, each an essential part of the whole, is wrought into 
that act. Fie will see how the thoughts and facts fall into place; 
how every sound of drum, every shout, every shadow or train pass- 
ing- across the scene, takes its place as part of the unique whole into 
which only the master mind of Shakespeare could organize it. 

Let him, in this way, study all the acts and scenes in the light 
of the organic idea of the play until it stands out before his mental 
vision in its unity and completeness. 

Then, and not till then, will the student be prepared to grasp and 



State Normal College 55 

master the dramatic and philological facts, and the facts of rhetorical 
and poetic form, and to lay hold of them in such a way that they 
will not weigh down his memory and confuse his judgment and 
exhaust his patience and disgust his soul with the ghosts of pettiness 
and worthlessness. The following of the master mind and hand of 
Shakespeare, in this constructive fashion, through one drama, will 
make him eager for like work with his other great dramas, and with 
the productions of other leading authors, and will be worth more 
to him educationally than would be the study of all the English 
courses of all the colleges, in the old hum-drum and dead-and-alive 
way. Besides getting something of Shakespeare, and something 
worth while about the drama itself and the drama in general, he 
would be able to get vastly more of the grammatical, philological, 
historical and other details, and to get these in such a way that he 
would not need to make a weary and fruitless effort to remember 
them, for they would remember themselves, springing freshly and 
vividly into place again as the mind reverted to the play. 

Then there should be carried along with all this the constant 
training in literary construction in every form. But upon this I 
cannot dwell. 

Had I time, I would like to illustrate the constructive method in 
its application to scientific system — showing how a specific science, 
such as psycholog}^, should be studied; and how the training in 
direct scientific construction should be carried on along with it. And 
I would like to do the same with practical system — taking some great 
sermon or oration constructed to gain some specific end — as the 
Sermon on the Mount, or Demosthenes' Oration on the Crown, or 
some invention, as the locomotive engine — and tracing the mar- 
shaling and relations of all the parts as means to the end proposed 
by the constructor. But I must leave them with you with the sug- 
gestion only, trusting to your catching my larger meaning. 

In conclusion, let me urge upon your attention the fact that a 
weighty responsibility rests upon our Normal Schools and Normal 
Colleges, in this matter of educational method; especially upon this 
Normal College as one of the earliest and most influential of them 
all, and one with a most marked history. You train the teachers 
who take charge of the child-soul at its most plastic stage. If you 
fail, how great, how absolute, the failure! Everything fails with you! 
The man who undertakes the culture of his own spirit by the process 
of blundering into development and power, will in the end find that 
to be a slow, discouraging and costly, not to say impossible, way. 
Nor is it any better when one submits himself to a like process under 
the misdirection of others, even though they bear the name of educa- 
tors and the process be dignified with the name of education. Who 
does not heartily endorse John Ruskin's indignant protest against 
the futilities of all such so-called education? On this subject he says: 

" The human soul, in youth, is not a machine of which you can 
polish the cogs with any kelp or brickdust near at hand; and having 
got it into working order, and good, empty, oiled serviceableness, 
start your immortal locomotive, at twenty-five years old or thirty, 



56 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

express from the Strait Gate, on the Narrow Road. The whole 
period of youth is one essentially of formation, edification, instruc- 
tion. I use the words with their weight in them ; intaking of stores, 
establishment in vital habits, hopes and faiths. There is not an hour 
of it but is trembling with destinies, — not a moment of which, once 
past, the appointed work can ever be done again, or the neglected 
blow struck on the cold iron. Take your vase of Venice glass out 
of the furnace and strew chafif over it in its transparent heat and 
recover that to its clearness and rubied glory when the north wind 
has blown up,on it; but do not think to strew chafif over the child 
fresh from God's presence, and to bring the heavenly colors back to 
him — at least in this world." 

But more than this, — you who represent this institution in its 
present form and with its present aim are in a new position in the 
world of education. You know that a legitimate and natural change 
of name properly carries with it a corresponding change of function 
or of nature. Jacob became Israel; Simon Jona became Peter. So 
the Normal School has become the Normal College. That has lifted 
it to a new vantage ground, from which you must do a larger work 
than you have heretofore done, in shaping the educational methods 
and setting the pace to educational progress. You are now to reach 
the so-called higher education, by training teachers for the colleges 
and universities. There is urgent need for that training. In our 
so-called higher institutions — while there are glorious exceptions — 
the average professor is as innocent of educational method as a baby 
is of metaphysics. You will need to make him over; — perhaps to 
take him to pieces and then make him over! But, if you can but 
catch the inspiration of the grand position into which the first great 
providential cycle has wheeled you, and lay hold of the constructive 
idea with which to reach and shape the minds of those who are to 
be our college professors for the providential cycle upon which we 
are now just entering, the next jubilee of this institution — to which 
our children, not ourselves, will come — will witness a transformation 
in the college, in the nation and in the world, too marvelous for 
belief. 

The thing demanded of us all, in the opening cycle, is that we 
shall be builders and help men to become builders, in the higher 
spheres, of education. If we prove to be normal builders — building 
the complete manhood and womanhood, physical, mental, moral and 
spiritual — in our systems of science, aesthetics and practics, holding 
fast to the true norm of God's world and God's word, — the result 
will be a real higher education worthy of the name, a truly exalted 
type of civilization in place of all this material glare and show and 
sham, and a genuinely grand evangelical Christianity with its divinely 
inspired self-sacrifice; — and as the end of all, the preservation and 
reconstruction of society and the world — now threatening to go to 
pieces and to go down under the baleful influence of an agnostic 
anarchism that acknowledges no authoritative norm anywhere, in 
thought, in politics, in morals, or in religion — by bringing them

into perfect conformity with the divine and eternal standard of the 
universe. 



EDUCATION AND REFORMATION OF JUVENILE 

DELINQUENTS 

By Charles W. Manchester, '75 

The Education and Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents is one 
of the first subjects attracting the attention of philanthropists and 
legislators in our land. As recently as 181 7 the subject was mooted 
by the foremost citizens, who subsequently — and within a very few 
years afterwards — gave it organic form as one deserving careful 
study. 

Previous to 1825, no provision was made for delinquent children, 
however tender in years. All were herded with the adult criminal; 
and, of course, made worse by the association. Less than seventy- 
five years ago, the first institution for such children in our country 
was established. That was in New York city in 1825. Now we find 
similar institutions in various States from Maine to California. Since 
the subject is attracting and deserving such general attention, it is 
very important that right plans be adopted for carrying forward 
such work. 

The inmates of most reformatory institutions are committed by 
magistrates and charged with some offense, from the indefinite term 
*' disorderly " to grand larceny or burglary, while some of the inmates 
of other institutions are given up to the authorities of such institu- 
tions by their parents. It is supposed that all inmates of such places 
are there because of offenses committed, but this supposition is not 
true in all cases ; for, not infrequently, the parents desirous of escap- 
ing the responsiblity, care and expense of providing for the child, 
will prefer some charge and ask for his commitment. It is evident, 
then, that a number of the inmates are more sinned against than 
sinning, that the fault in many cases, lies with the parent, who does 
not consider the disgrace that clings to the child in after life, but 
does consider the advantages — superior to any home training that 
would be given — and all at the expense of city or State. But the 
majority — largely from improper home training and supervision — 
are committed because they deserve to be, because their habits of 
life are wrong, and because repeated offenses against law and order, 
which may have culminated in some very serious offense, show the 
need of reformatory influences and training. 

These children generally come from the lower classes of society 
where the lack of love and pleasant surroundings that characterize 
attractive homes, cause them to seek congenial or kindred associa- 
tions elsewhere. They are generally close observers, with little or no 
knowledge of books, but a better knowledge of human nature than 
that of many adults. 

When committed to an institution, their needs are varied and 



58 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

pressing. Unrestrained liberty to say and do as they pleased, to go 
and come without proper parental supervision have characterized 
the majority of their lives, and hence, they are warped by evil habits, 
and the work of education and reformation is by no means easy. 
One of the very first ideas dominant in the minds of those directing 
the affairs of such institutions should be to give the inmates such 
training and education as will fit them for lives of honesty and use- 
fulness. Book learning alone is not enough, for learning, without 
good principles, more effectually arms a rascal for the accomplish- 
ment of evil. A wise man has said, " To educate the mind of a bad 
man without correcting his morals, is to put a sword into the hands 
of a maniac." The philosopher John Locke wrote, " If virtue and a 
well-tempered soul be not got and settled so as to keep out ill and 
vicious habits, languages and science, and all the other accomplish- 
ments of education, will be to no purpose but to make the worse or 
more dangerous man." There must be the potent influence of godly 
lives everywhere coming in contact with the misguided ones, in order 
to lift them up to higher planes of living, in order to make them 
better and reform their characters or lives. Coming from homes of 
worthless, shiftless, or perhaps, drunken parents; or it may be 
honest, hard-working, deserving parents, who are unable to give 
their children that home training and proper supervision they would 
like to, one of the first needs to be met is regularity of life. From 
early morn till they retire at night, there should be system in ever\'- 
thing they are called upon to do, — a particular time for rising, bath- 
ing, eating, playing, working and studying. This regularity will 
soon show a marked improvement in the physical well-being, the eye 
will brighten, the step become more elastic; and, where uniformly 
kind and just treatment — supplemented by intelligence and good 
judgment — prevails, the feeling of loneliness will soon wear away, 
and the dogged defiant expression will give place to one of pleasant- 
ness and contentment. In such a condition, they will be ready and 
willing to obey, and to receive the benefits the institution was orga- 
nized to bestow. 

Of course many of the children must perform the routine work of 
the place, but the most menial labor will be beneficial, principally, in 
forming habits of industry. Cleaning, gardening, baking, tailoring, 
shoemaking and printing for the boys; and washing, ironing, mend- 
ing, and the practical work in well-ordered families, for the girls, 
form a basis to which may be added different trades — practical in 
their nature — which will enable the children to secure employment 
on their discharge. In fact, unless in special cases and for good 
reasons, none should be discharged — either to their parents or 
indentured to others — until employment is guaranteed ;. for, if per- 
mitted to return to their former haunts of wickedness, or homes of 
idleness and evil companions without regular employment, and not 
trained to some branch of manual labor or trade, they will have 
derived but little, if any, benefit from their stay in the institution. 
They will fall an easy prey to the many temptations besetting their 
pathway, and then justice will not be tempered with so much mercy 



State Normal College 59 

as before, if beyond a certain age a home more penal in its nature 
will care for them. 

The work of the school-room must form an essential and much 
needed part of the training of children during their stay in the refor- 
matory, and the work there should be of the most practical kind. It 
is seldom that one is received with much knowledge of the common 
English branche's — as many as twenty-five per cent., without ability 
to read or write — hence the work of the schools must needs be pri- 
mary in its character. The need or necessity for superior teaching 
in the primary departments of all schools is being recognized and 
emphasized by voice and pen to-day as never before. This need is 
being supplied by the numerous normal and training schools, led by 
our alma mater in this State. In order to be a truly successful 
teacher in a reformatory institution, there must be linked with this 
normal school training, persistent and painstaking effort, unlimited 
patience and tireless energy, with love for the work and a lively faith 
in Him whose promises never fail. 

Because the children remain in the institution, on an average of 
only about eighteen months, reading, spelling^ penmanship and 
arithmetic are the studies which must necessarily receive the most 
-attention; yet there are other branches which must be taught, and 
as imperatively needed, as those named. They need to know them- 
selves and to possess a knowledge of the laws governing their 
bodies. Their minds are blank concerning physiology and hygiene, 
and it is very important that this class of children, especially, becomes 
acquainted with — not only the organs of the living body — but 
their needs or how to keep them healthy. 

Education in this line will not be complete until the requirements 
of the law, in this aiid most of the States of the Union, are met, by 
teaching these subjects with reference to the effects of alcohol, 
tobacco and kindred poisons on the various organs of the body. 

These children come from homes and associations where these 
stimulants and narcotics are used, and many of them are victims to 
evil habits in this line. Wise teaching, then, is needed to counteract 
the hereditary taint, bad influences and bad practices before commit- 
ment. The time was, and not long ago, when the mind was trained 
regardless of the requirements of the body. The vital connection 
between the mind and body — which was ignored with a persistency 
little short of criminality — is being recognized, and the physical 
well-being assured as well as mental. Blessings on the head of 
woman, through whose instrumentality, untiring efforts and 
influence, principally, thirty-six States, the District of Columbia and 
all the territories require physiology and hygiene, with reference to 
the influence of stimulants and narcotics on the human system, to 
be taught in all their public schools. If properly taught to all the 
young, the coming generation will see far less liquor sold, without 
the necessity for more stringent legislation in this direction, and the 
reformatory institutions with fewer numbers, for the liquor traffic is 
a prolific source of juvenile delinquency. 



6o Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

The history of our country, and especially civil government, should 
be taught the children; for a very large proportion are of foreign 
birth or direct descendants of foreigners, and their need in this line 
is great, and should be met in order to make intelligent and patriotic 
citizens, and thus make more secure and give perpetuity to our 
republic and her institutions. 

In connection with all the instruction given, whether in workshop 
or school-room, in all their play, in short, during their entire stay in 
the reformatory, the idea of proper discipline should not be lost sight 
of. Without prompt obedience and good order, but little, compara- 
tively, can be done that will be of permanent value. All should be 
subject to military training as soon as they enter the place. This 
will prove the most prompt and efifective way of establishing 
obedience and order. It will prove of the greatest value in con- 
nection with every department of the institution, and cause the 
slouching gait and bent form to disappear and give place to the 
manly, erect bearing of the soldier. While the military training will 
be of the greatest value in maintaining proper discipline, it will not 
be sufBcient to meet the needs of a large institution. There should 
be a grade system, with a permanent record kept, measuring the 
moral improvement of all during their stay, and all should know 
that their record must measure up to a certain standard in conduct 
and studies before discharge. But these systems are not sufficient 
to meet the needs of all cases. Where hundreds of the worst ele- 
ments of society are congregated, they must be made aware of the 
fact that as they could not violate law with impunity outside, much 
less can they do so inside of a reformatory institution; and that the 
penalty for the breaking of rules, or for conduct however gross or 
heinous, will be sufficiently severe to meet the needs of the occasion. 
If morbid sentimentalism prevails, and beautiful'theories that cannot 
wisely or safely be put in practice, gain favor, then will be realized 
the oft repeated history of the sons of Eli. 

Let wise and good men and women be placed in charge, and let 
them be encouraged in their work, unhindered, so long as wisdom 
and goodness are manifest in their administration. And not merely 
at the heads of institutions or departments, but in every position 
from superintendent to the most menial employe, let there be intelli- 
gent men and women, with at least a good common school educa- 
tion, possessed of sound judgment, big-hearted, with love and zeal 
for the work, not actuated principally by a desire for gain, or from 
sordid motives, but fired with the Pauline spirit of love and good- 
will; then, with that unity and harmony that characterize conse- 
crated Christianity, the grandest results await their labors. 

Said a superintendent of a large city institution when approached 
by one with an excellent and experienced candidate for a position, 
" Sir, he is just the man I need for the work here; but unfortunately 
I have not the power to appoint. You will have to go to the com- 
missioners of charities. They send men to me totally unacquainted 
with and unfit for the duties of their positions, and months of blun- 



State Normal College 6i 

derings and disorders occur before they become of use in the work." 
In order to produce the best results special training is needed in 
every walk of life — the work of educating and reforming juvenile 
delinquents not excepted; and because of the necessity for, and the 
existence of so many reformatory institutions, there should be a 
degartment in some of our normal schools for the special training 
of those who desire to devote themselves to the work. Then will 
authorities know where to turn for intelligent assistants, well 
acquainted with the theories, lacking only in experience, but fully 
alive to the needs of the situation; and then will institutions be 
properly equipped for the work of education and reform. With insti- 
tutions thus provided on the one hand, and the State watching and 
protecting with untiring, jealous interest on the other hand — suffer- 
ing no political party to interfere only to make better; and per- 
mitting no particular church to enter with rites, ceremonies and 
creed peculiar to itself, bringing discord and confusion in its train, 
then will the grandest results follow from the God-given work, and 
none but honest, law-abiding, intelligent, patriotic citizens be sent 
out into the world. 



OLD SCHOOLS AND NEW 

By Sherman Williams, '71 

I am to speak on the topic, " Old Schools and New." It is said 
that a text rarely furnishes a clue as to what the sermon will be, so 
I may, under the above title, speak of schools of theology, or states- 
manship, or journalism, or literature, or learning, or any other phase 
of human activity. But I imagine the real question is broader than 
any or all of these. All those changes in the various phases of life's 
work that we dominate the " new school " of thought, owe their 
existence to a common cause. The " new school " found its birth 
in the invention of the art of printing. Knowledge then became, as 
never before, a cumulative force. It then became possible for one to 
profit by the experience of many who had gone before him. The 
growth of human knowledge and the wisdom which comes from 
human experience, has grown with ever increasing rapidity since the 
invention of printing. The introduction of the new^spaper has 
greatly aided this by furnishing a medium for the ready interchange 
of thought. The telegraph and the telephone have done much 
toward making all mankind neighbors. Each morning we learn 
what of general interest transpired the day before, the whole wide 
world over. 

The newspapers, the magazines, the dictionaries, the encyclopaedias, 
the public libraries, the almost endless ways in which the invention 
of the art of printing has been made use of, have so increased the 
sum of human knowledge that he who has lived the last third of a 
century has seen more material progress than all those who have 
lived before him. This alone would have revolutionized modern 
life, but there has been a greater change. Men have come to know 



62 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

each other, and therefore to respect, to love and to pity. Never 
before have mankind known each other so well. Never before has 
man had so great a regard for his fellow man. Never before was so 
much money spent for the general welfare, for missions, for hos- 
pitals, for asylums, for schools, for public libraries. Never before 
has human life been so highly regarded. Never before has woman 
been so esteemed. Only a short time ago and she was little better 
treated than domestic animals. Not long since poverty was treated 
as though virtually a crime. It is only very recently that the unfortu- 
nate, the insane, the feeble-minded, the crippled, have been at all 
duly cared for. Man is developing a new sense which for want of a 
name w^e may call sympathy for mankind in general. Altruism is 
growing rapidly. Men of large wealth are very generally coming to 
regard themselves as trustees of their fortunes and to consider care- 
fully how they can use them so as to do the most good. So gener- 
ally is this true that a man of great wealth who does nothing for the 
public good is generally execrated. It begins to look as though the 
meek would inherit the earth. By means of what the printing press 
has done, aided by the telegraph and telephone, we have come to 
know the history and the lives of all mankind; through travel, aided 
by the railway and steamship, we have come to know men them- 
selves the w^orld over. With this knowledge has come respect, 
regard, sympathy. We have in a large measure come to recognize 
the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. We are told 
that familiarity breeds contempt, but this is true only of things that 
are contemptible. Familiarity leads to knowledge of each other, to 
an understanding of conditions and motives, to respect or sympathy 
or pity, as the case may be. 

What we call the new school of, this or that, is due to this changed 
condition of afifairs, which in turn is due to knowing each other 
better. While this or that man may have furthered the cause, no one 
can say that any man or set of men brought about the changed con- 
dition of affairs. 

The " new school " in education is often said to be due to Pesta- 
lozzi, Frobel and others. Far be it from me to deny these men the 
great credit due them, but the changes in the condition of the world 
made them possible, and these changes were the outcome of the 
labors of great numbers, some known, more unknown, extending 
over a long period of time. The times called for these men and the 
call was answered. A little earlier in the world's history and they 
would have produced no effect; a little later and they would have 
been commonplace. The " new education," so-called, is often sup- 
posed to mean new methods and devices. This is a mistake. The 
methods may be used in any school, old or new. The devices and 
methods are those that fit the user. The " new education " means 
a new spirit. What shall we demand of it? Better scholars? 
More learned men? Yes, if you please, but more than this, we must 
regard ideas more than words, acts more than theories, character 
more than dogma.

BENEFITS TO THE TEACHER OF PROFESSIONAL 

STUDY 

By William M. Giffin, '73 

Teaching is a profession in the highest and noblest sense; there- 
fore when a teacher has taken the time and trouble to prepare him- 
self for this work, that should be the end of it, and then there is no 
reason why he should be subjected every few months to petty exami- 
nations in order to retain his position. 

When a teacher has once received a certificate of any kind that is 
trustworthy, showing that so far as scholarship is concerned he is in 
every way competent to teach, the only thing left for him to prove, 
is that he is possessed of the requisite amount of professional knowl- 
edge, and with it, good common sense to put into practice what he 
knows; and also to show that he is not too lazy or too conceited 
to keep up a continued study of the best writers on his profession. 

As well might a lawyer endeavor to practice law with no knowl- 
edge of the statute laws of his State ; or a doctor to practice medicine 
with no knowledge of physiology, as for a teacher to teach with no 
knowledge of the mind he is trying to develop. 

" O, woe to those who trample on the mind, 
That deathless thing ! They know not what they do, 
Nor what they deal with. Man, perchance may bind 
The flower his step hath bruised ; or light anew 
The torch he quenches ; or to music wind 
Again the lyre-string from his touch that flew ; 
But for the soul, O, tremble and beware 
To lay rude hands upon God's mysteries there! " 

A non-professional teacher — that is one who has no scientific 
knowledge of the human being's mind — has no business to be the 
disciplinarian of children. Such teachers are too impatient, too 
thoughtless, too unsympathetic to deal with children. 

If they have to do with none but bright, goody-goody boys and 
girls they will do well. If a child comes under their care who 
has any physical deformity, they are kind enough and will not admit 
of any ridicule; perhaps they will even be patient with a lame boy 
because of his limping; and if his arm be broken will not scold 
because he cannot do his writing lesson. Yet, on the other hand, 
a poor little fellow who has a deformity of mind receives no help 
or sympathy from them; they only know that he is dull, hard to 
learn, difficult to interest in his work. 

It may be the child inherits a bad temper, or, perhaps, a nervous- 
ness that causes him to be at all times in motion. He may have 
inherited a suspicious nature, selfishness, in fact, many of the things 
that are bad and may be inherited. Now, how does the non-profes- 
sional teacher look at such children? He looks upon them as being 
in his way for several reasons; first, perhaps — they will keep the 
class average down on examination day or hurt the order when 
company is present. Such teachers never stop to think that if it 



64 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

were not for just such boys and girls there would be no need of 
them as teachers. This is just the class of pupils that gives us our 
positions. Any old quack of a doctor can prescribe for a case of 
temporary indigestion, but where a genuine case of dyspepsia takes 
hold of the patient, the quack hacks away at him till he (the 
patient), is ready to end his life to get rid of his sufiferings. When, 
on the other hand, the professional doctor takes hold of him, studies 
his symptoms, reads up on the disease, he soon has his patient well. 
So with the quack teacher when dealing with the mental dyspepsia. 
He hacks away at the child, calls him a dunce, tells him he is bad, 
finds fault with him, pesters him, in short makes his school life too 
hot for him until finally '' school " and " prison " become synony- 
mous terms to him. While the professional teacher studies such 
children, reads up on them, realizes he has a chronic case on his 
hands which will not yield at once to his skill, works away, day after 
day, knowing that the educating of this child does not mean the 
learning of rules in grammar, or of descriptions of rivers, or in the 
working of problems. These are all right in their places, but the 
patient must first be made ready for them; and, though at the end 
of the term, the child may not know "A" from " X " he has been far 
more benefited and more highly educated than others who have 
mastered the whole alphabet, and when the dull or bad boy once 
begins convalescing he will out-strip the others so rapidly and leave 
them so far behind as to cause them to forget they were ever m the 
same class with him; and best of all is he owes his growth to his 
patient teacher. 

And, now, dear reader, to which class of teachers do you wish 
to belong? To which class do you think Prof. James "B. Richards 
belonged?''' Think you, my friends, that Prof. Richards had a 
knowledge of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Locke, Seneca and Pesta- 
lozzi? Did he go at his work blindly? Had he not a definite pur- 
pose in his teachings? Could he by any chance have accomplished 
his grand, noble work? And is it not fair to conclude that any who 
fail or do but fairly good work may trace their failure back to the 
want of a knowledge of the principles as laid down by the old Greek 
and Roman philosophers? Are they not all, if not independent stu- 
dents, inclined to do the same thing, viz. : Confine themselves mainly 
to the imitating of their teachers? 

Why did your teacher and your teacher's teacher call out some 
twenty or thirty pupils at a time and have them toe the mark while 
they pronounced some fifty or sixty words for the pupils to spell 
orally? Was it not because they had not the opportunity, or had 
failed to embrace it, of becoming acquainted with principles and 
methods of teaching? Is it any wonder that their teaching was 
mechanical, soulless, devoid of high aims? Is it at all surprising 
that they exercised very little, if any, influence upon the development

of Charities and Correction, held in Washington, D. C, June, 1885, in which 
is given an account of the boy Sylvanus.

of intelligence and character in pupils? There was no individuality 
in their work and hence they could not develop any individuality 
in their pupils. And inasmuch as they were unable to contribute 
to the growth of correct principles in the profession, they were 
rather an impediment to the progress of the profession. Perhaps 
they had not the time for the study of the profession. Now stop a 
moment and think how very weak, how absurd such a reason is. 
They had the assurance to ask for a position to do a work which 
they had not the time to learn. 

Think, ladies, of your paying a dressmaker two dollars a day to 
experiment on your new dress till she learn to make one. I say 
paying a dressmaker for all she must do to make herself a dress- 
maker is to present herself and ask for a position as such; or she 
may have been through a dressmaking training class and tread the 
sewing machine while some one stood by to help her guide the work 
and in this way have become an expert in the art, and needs no more 
study but practice only; how many will hire her? 

" Well," you say, " what about such men as Washington, Jeffer- 
son, Webster, Clay and hundreds of others, who became so great 
and were pupils in the old-time school?" The teachers of such 
pupils deserve but little credit. Such boys will learn if shut up in 
a room by themselves; though you should bind them hand and foot 
yet will they gain knowledge. The teacher who deserves credit is 
he who awakens the sleepy mind; he who reaches that which all 
others have failed to reach. He it is that, like the sculptor who had 
finished his masterpiece, may clasp his hands and with joy exclaim, 
" This is my handiwork ! " 

" Well," says another, " I know of teachers who do not study 
their profession and do a grand, good work." How do you know? 
let me ask. " Why! look at their results." What are they? "A class 
average of over ninety per cent! " Ah, yes, but I saw an answer to 
that in the " New York School Journal." " Examinations, as ordin- 
arily conducted, do not give the result of good teaching, because 
they are based upon the supposition that knowledge is everything. 
A cross, selfish, and even brutal teacher may make a good text- 
book scholar. They may know a wonderful number of facts in 
history and geography; they may be quick in mathematical calcu- 
lations and excellent in the languages, and yet with all this they may 
send their pupils out into the world fit only to become Wall street 
sharpers, boodle, vicious and tricky politicians. They will, probably, 
get money, live in palaces, drive fast horses and be among the ' suc- 
cessful' men of the world. But are these things the measures of their 
success? By no means. Just such men pulled Rome down, and 
just such men will cause the ruin of our country when it falls. The 
imparting of knowledge is of minor importance. We are running 
wild over strength of body and mind, and neglecting the culture of 
the soul. 

"There are some who will say this is 'nonsense,' 'preaching' 
and all that. It is not nonsense, and if it is preaching, the more of it 



66 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

the better. We want some earthquake that will shake a few of these 
fundamental truths into the inner consciousness of thousands of 
teachers who are wild over facts. They are everlastingly asking 
'Who?' 'What?' 'When?' 'How?' This is the beginning, 
middle and end of all their teaching. If they find a pupil who can 
tell the name of Queen Victoria's great grandmother or conjugate 
the Greek irregular verbs and give Cicero's idiomatic expressions, 
they at once pronounce him ' excellent.' Special results stand at 
the end of all their ideas of school work." 

Of course, there always have been and always will be hundreds 
and hundreds of hard-working, untiring, conscientious, progressive, 
enthusiastic teachers at work, and it gives me tmbounded pleasure 
to know that the Albany State Normal College is not behind any of 
her sisters in this respect. But, oh! how our honorable profession 
has been made to sufifer by the thoughtless, incompetent, money- 
loving, one-sided, narrow-minded, covetous old sinners who have 
passed themselves ofif as representative members of it. One of the 
worst things that can happen to a school is to have teachers who can 
do what passes for good work, but who are either too lazy to read 
or too stingy to pay for professional books. 

" Why," say they, " I do not find anything new in them." 

No, of course you do not, and why? Because that noble, God- 
loving, high-minded teacher, who taught you years ago, was a 
reader; and you put into practice what you learned of her, without 
knowing it. But you will not instill your pupils as she instilled you, 
for her success came from the heart while yours come only from the 
head. 

The great trouble with teachers who do not study their profession 
and the laws of the mind is, that they make tug-boats of themselves 
and pull and pufif and tug away at their pupils, pulling them through 
the waves against the tide, when, had they known more of the laws 
of the mind, were they in love with the work, they would have seen 
how unnecessary all this was ; and instead of taking the place of the 
tug would have taken the place of the rudder and simply guided 
their pupils in the right direction to help themselves through. 

We sometimes complain that we are too poorly compensated for 
our work. If there are hundreds and hundreds of teachers who are 
underpaid there are thousands and thousands who are overpaid. 
Many a teacher is receiving good pay this very moment who is not 
worth his salt as a teacher. 

W^hose fault is it? Yours, my friend, and mine and every teacher's 
in the country, if we do nothing to raise the standard of the 
profession. 

Listen to the opinions of some of the greatest school men that 
have ever lived. South says: " He that governs well, leads the blind, 
but he that teaches gives him eyes; and it is glorious to be a 
sub-worker to grace in freeing it from some of the inconveniences 
of original sin." 

" What considerate man," says Edward Everett, " can enter a 



State Normal College 67 

school and not reflect with awe that it is a seminary where immortal 
minds are training for eternity." 

'' The teacher has the consciousness of being engaged in a useful 
and honorable calling. My pen is too feeble to attempt to portray 
the usefulness of the faithful teacher," is the language of David 
Page. 

'* The true teacher of to-day is not only molding the lives of chil- 
dren who are to become the men and women of the immediate 
future, but in doing this he is also influencing the intelligence, 
character and progress of generations yet unborn," are the closing 
words of Orcutt. 

Said the late Mr. Fletcher: "The intellectual faculties can never 
be exercised thoroughly but by men of sound logical training — 
perfect in the art of teaching." 

Says Chas. Northend: "To take the child of to-day in all his 
ignorance, weakness, exposed to evil influences and temptations on 
every hand and lead him on through the devious and dangerous paths 
of childhood and youth and finally place him upon the battlefield 
of life, a true-hearted and intelligent being, richly furnished with 
those traits and qualities which will nerve and strengthen him to 
' act well his part in life ' — to do all this — is the high privilege and 
duty of the teacher; and is it not a noble and godlike work?" 

The following are the words of the lamented Dr. Channing: 
" There is no office higher than that of a teacher of youth, for there is 
nothing on earth so precious as the mind, soul and character of the 
child." 

What is the best course of reading fot teachers? is the question 
we are often asked to answer. We are reminded of the man who 
asked his physician, " Doctor, what isthe bestmedicinefor a patient?" 
The doctor's answer was: "My dear fellow, that all depends upon 
the nature of the patient's disease." And thus we answer our ques- 
tion. It all depends on the condition of the reader. 

I. Is he a Normal School graduate with his little sheep-skin 
testifying to his undoubted competency as a teacher? Or is he a 
college graduate and because of this fact, inclined to feel that his 
degree makes him better than his fellow-companions? Then we 
advise him to read Pope's " Essay on Man; " Sprague's " Curiosity; " 
Dickens' " David Copperfield;" Thackeray's "Vanity Fair;" Shakes- 
pere's "Hamlet;" Whittier's "Snow Bound;" Cooper's "Spy;" 
Irving's "Life of Washington;" Lamb's "EHa;" Dr. Samuel John- 
son's " Vanity of Human Wishes," in order that he may learn that 
the degree does not make the man, and, therefore, there is much 
hard work before him if he would not be forgotten as soon as he is 
dead, for certain it is, that no degree brought these men their fame. 

Do not for a moment think I mean in the slightest manner to 
depreciate our Normal School or College graduates. That is not 
my purpose. I simply say that if any teachers have this disease 
of seif-conceit, then I prescribe the above reading. There are those 
who, we think, are over-jealous of their Normal School and College 
honors and are inclined to frown down any seeming infringement. 



68 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

Let us look at the advancement of two teachers, A and B who 
each receive an appointment in first-year classes. In A's school there 
are four changes during the first year and each change promotes 
A a step higher by virtue of his being in line of promotion. 

In B's school there is but one vacancy, which is in the fourth- 
year class, and B has shown such consummate skill that he is pro- 
moted at once from the first-year class to the fourth year. These 
two teachers, at the end of the year, have received the title of vice- 
principal; one Dy a certain understood law or usage, the other by 
his skill well used. To which shall we give most credit? 

Again, let us look at two boys who start together in life. At six- 
teen one enters West Point, the other enters an oiifice as law clerk. 
Time passes — A graduates from West Point as a lieutenant, B is 
admitted to the bar. Then a war breaks out: A goes in as a colonel, 
B as a private. A is soon made a general, B a captain. At the end 
of a year B, by careful study of his manual, by unflinching courage 
and great will-power, has made himself so well-felt in the army that 
he becomes a colonel. At the close of the war they both come 
home as generals. To whom shall we give credit? 

My Normal brother and bachelor friend, in receiving your degree 
you have simply placed yourself in competition with those 
who have not had your advantages. See to it they do not carry off 
the honors, and if they do, generously take them by the hand and 
give them your hearty congratulations. Surely Oxford did not 
belittle herself by conferring the degree of " doctor " on such men 
as Franklin and Johnson. Did they rather not confer an honor on 
Oxford by accepting? 

2. Is he not a graduate of any institution and in consequence of 
this, inclined to the blues, and oftentimes feels like giving up all 
together; then my advice is that instead of taking the writings of 
these men that he take their lives and read them until he becomes 
ashamed of his blues and finds himself once more fit to compete 
with the world. Surely no one had harder trials to contend with 
than most of the men in our list. They conquered; and what has 
by man been done can by man be done again. 

3. If he be a cool, matter-of-fact, worldly man, and is teaching 
for the money he can get out of it, with no regard for the influence 
he may have on his pupils, thinking his only duty is to put in five 
hours a day hearing lessons, I advise, by all means, that he make the 
Bible his principal book until he becomes aware of his awful 
mistake. 

4. If he has to contend with trials and tribulations and to meet 
difliculties which he thinks have never fallen to the lot of any other 
man and hence that there is no encouragment for him, I advise him 
to read David Page, in whom he will find a kind, faithful, sympa- 
thetic friend, who will instil him with new hope and a determination 
to overcome all obstacles; who will inspire him with a love for his 
profession and cause him to lose sight of the almighty dollar, to 
wait with patience till he passes to his final reward, which will go 
with him through eternity. 



State Normal College 69 

5. If he is one who thinks that children are to be treated Hke 
automatons, to be wound up with the key of nonsensical defini- 
tions and run down at his will, or if he has the idea that children 
can learn only when stuck up in their several seats like so many 
wooden posts, I advise that he read Pestalozzi's '' Leonard and Ger- 
trude," where he will find that children can learn just as much and 
be a thousand times happier if allowed to be what God intended them 
to be, simply little children who can be made to love their teacher, 
their school and their several tasks. 

6. Is he inclined to be a sceptic and to scofY at the idea of teach- 
ing's being either an art or science, I advise him to read White's 
" Elements of Pedagogy," in which he will find well-known and 
fixed principles in teaching, which, if he violate, will make his task 
a monotonous routine, that in turn will bring him to a premature 
grave and which will also do an injury to his pupils that can never 
be undone. 

jj. Is he one who stands before his class the personification of an 
encyclopedia, airing himself from morning till night, day after day, 
explaining every detail, I advise him to read Payne's *' Lectures on 
Education/' where he will find, I think, to his satisfaction that he is 
robbing the children of all development of mind, which, for illustra- 
tion, we will represent as a canal boat, when, to finish the figure, we 
must assign him to the place of the mule, pulling the boat along 
instead of taking the place he should, of the captain at the rudder 
and after guiding tl^e boat in the right direction, leaving it to take 
care of itself. 

8. Is he one who has been feeding his pupils on dry husks for 
the past ten years, giving him each subject in an unrelated, isolated 
and uninteresting manner and does he desire to see how beautifully 
one subject may help another, if only corelated, I advise him to read 
Parker's " Talks on Pedagogy," where he will find ear after ear 
filled with the bright, sparkling, well-developed and thoroughly 
digestible " Col," which, after a few meals, will so change him, that 
his pupils will not recognize him as the old dry cob of a few weeks 
before. 

9. Is he one who thinks there is no system to the Kindergarten 
and that it is only fooling away time, I advise him to read Hail- 
man's " Primary Methods and Kindergarten Instruction," where he 
will discover that there is a methodical, systematic, economical and 
ef^cient use of the occupations described therein which will success- 
fully guard him against the evils of random, unsystematic and too- 
common " busy work." 

10. Is he one who has not read the history of the profession, 
fearing it would prove dull and unintersting, I advise him to read 
Hailman, Quick, Fitch or Compayne's " History of Pedagogy," 
where he will find (if not too thoroughly steeped in cheap novels, 
as to be lost to all decent reading), chapter after chapter that will 
hold him spell-bound from beginning to end. If unable to read 
but one of these let it, by all means, be Quick's " Education of 



70 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

Reforms/' written by one whose whole soul was in the work and 
who has done much to raise the standard of our profession. 

11. If he be fond of deserts and desire now and then a real 
relish, then I advise that he keep always before him "The Report 
of the Committee of Ten," which he will find full to overflowing of 
goodj sound common sense that will make him so happy he will go 
through his daily work as light-hearted as a child. 

12. Is he one who wishes to know how to manage children in 
their early life, i. e., school life, and desires good, sound psycho- 
logical common sense for the reason given, let him read Currie's 
" Early Education,'^ a book that is full of thought and wise sug- 
gestions for young teachers; a book that every teacher should have, 
and especially every primary teacher, even though she borrow the 
money with which to buy it. 

13. Is he one who has no faith in science teaching in the com- 
mon schools and who thinks that it has no place in the educating of 
the young and does he desire to have proven to him how utterly 
wrong are his arguments, how absolutely necessary to the child's 
health his good citizenship, in short, to his complete being is this 
science study, I advise that he read Herbert Spencer on Education, 
where he will find the question discussed in a logical, comprehen- 
sive, conclusive manner, so much so, that I doubt his being able 
to lay down the book till every page has been read. Surely he can- 
not begin the chapter on " Moral Education " and stop till he has 
read every word. A chapter that should be read by every teacher 
as often as once a term. 

14. Has he but a limited knowledge of the mind he is trying to 
develop and does he desire to realize how much easier, more attract- 
ive and scientific he can do his work with such knowledge, I advise 
him to read Sulley's " Outline of Psychology " or Murray's " Hand- 
book of Psychology," in either of which he will learn that there are 
well-known and fixed principles which should govern all teaching 
and teachers in their work. Two books, the reading of which will 
not only make him a better teacher, but a better man in every 
respect. 

I have often asked myself of what use is all this to me as a 
teacher? What can I do better for having had this course? What 
efifect will it have on my teachers, my pupils and myself? Will my 
learning that Socrates went through the street bare-footed teaching 
for no compensation, be of any service to me in my work? 

On first thought I was inclined to answer without hesitation 
"No," but, stop a moment! thought I. Did not so wise and so 
good a man have a purpose in all this? Is it not necessary for 
leaders to be extremists? Can they not, by being extreme, cause 
their disciples, and even their opponents, to adopt a "happy 
medium?" Yes, Socrates, I learn my lesson. I see your wisdom 
and though I do not follow you with bare feet, I learn to be happy 
and contented with the common necessities of life and there is 
impressed more deeply on my mind the foolishness of extravagance 



State Normal College 71 

and foppishness. Again, though I cannot, like you spend year after 
year in giving free instructions to my pupils ; I can receive inspiration 
from your noble conduct and when I hear of old classmates who 
have taken up other callings in life and are amassing fortunes, I can, 
by your example, go calmly at my task, happy and contented in the 
thought that I am at least trying to make wiser and better men and 
women of the young boys and girls with whom I am associated and 
who, naturally, take me for an example. And as I content myself 
with these rewarding thoughts, I am reminded, as I often am while 
studying your life, of the Teacher of teachers, who received no 
compensation for His labors and who charged His disciples to fol- 
low His example. 

Another lesson you have taught me, Socrates, and Socratic like, 
when, where and in a manner that I least expected. By your quiet, 
though withering sarcasm, when conversing with the sophist of 
your day, you lead me to take sides with your opponents. When 
I find your arguments against them to be because of receiving com- 
pensation for their instruction, my sympathy is with them, but, as I 
follow your question I am in turn led to question myself — are the 
sophists yet all dead? Are there many still at work? In short, 
were you not yourself one of them when you showed off your bright 
pupils to the visitors who spent the day at your school? Were you 
not guilty of gaining the admiration of your auditors by the use of 
words, words, words? Did you not, when preparing work for the 
State or National Exhibit, place yourself upon a level with the 
sophists, when you gave a class of sixty pupils a task to perform 
and from the sixty exercises prepared, you chose two or three 
papers wrought out by pupils who would have written them just as 
ably if they had never seen you or your school? And, Socrates, 
that still, calm voice that so often guided you in your life's work, 
seems to come to me and in the same quiet tone it whispers in my 
ear but the one short word " Guilty." 

The teacher who does not learn your last lesson, viz.: "The art 
of questioning," surely has mistaken his calling. When I had taken 
this, your last lesson, did I not go before my class that had so accu- 
rately conned their tables in square and cubic measure and who had 
often worked their problems as rapidly as dictated, and here did I 
try your consummate art. First, like your asking of them the things 
they know, e. g., the rule for finding the surface, the solid contents 
and the tables in each measure until they were quite convinced they 
had completely mastered the subject. Then I, with no change of 
expression began putting my questions as follows : " Feet multiplied 
by feet equals what?" "Square feet," the answer readily given. 
"Yes," by me. "And rods multiplied by rods equals what?" 
"Square rods." "Yes, and miles multiplied by miles equals what?" 
"Square miles." "Yes, and eggs multiplied by eggs equals what?" 

" Square , " Oh, no ! " Again : " How long is a cord of 

wood?" "Eight feet." "How wide?" " Four feet." " Yes," and 
how high?" " Four feet." " Good, and now tell me this — I have a 



72 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

pile of wood containing two cords; how long, wide and high must it 
be?" "Sixteen by eight by eight" "Yes." "Now multiply your 
sixteen by eight by eight and divide the product by one hundred and 
twenty-eight that you may prove your work and be doubly sure of 
the correctness of your answer.'^ Then, like you, I leave them, 
hungry for more light which they are sure to find. 

I, one day, passed to a room from which a class had just been 
excused and there find the young teacher with a pale, careworn 
face. I ask why she looks so careworn. She tells me she feels 
down-hearted and discouraged, in short, like giving up entirely. 

" Why?" I ask. " Well," she answers, " Johnnie Blank is so bad; 
I do not see any improvement in him. I fear I shall never reach 
him. Why not suspend him? I could do so much better were he 
out of the class." " Let me see," I reply. " How long have you had 
the class?" "Eight days." "Indeed! so long! What is expected 
from your class in language this term?" (The work as laid down 
in the manual is here explained by the teacher.) " Has Johnnie 
mastered the term's language yet?" "Why, no, indeed! how could 
he?" What is expected of you in arithmetic?" "Subtraction and 
multiplication." "And can Johnnie work all problems or examples 
in these two rules?" "Why, no; this is only the second week and 
we are not expected to finish these subjects till the last of the term." 
" Has Johnnie had any influence brought to bear upon him that will 
make it difficult to master either of these subjects?" "I think not; 
how could he?" "Which is harder to build subtraction tables 
or character? " " Character, no doubt." "And yet you thought it 
strange that I should expect the subtraction tables in two weeks, 
when you are looking for the character in eight days ! " A change 
begins to come over her face; I continue — "By whom are our 
schools supported?" "By the people," she answers. "Why do the 
people support them, some of whom have no children?" "That all 
may receive an education," she answers. "And why do they desire 
that all should receive an education?" Her answer is: "That all 
should become better and more useful citizens." " Is there any dan- 
ger of the good element in our schools becoming bad citizens?" 
She replies : "As a rule, no." " Is there any danger of the bad ele- 
ment becoming bad citizens?" "Yes," she says, "there is danger." 
" Then," I ask, " how can you best serve the State, by teaching the 
good boys the subtraction table or by teaching the bad boys kind- 
ness, love, sympathy and a due respect for the rights of others?" 
" Certainly the latter," she answers. " Then will it not be better to 
keep Johnnie in the class, so that while you are teaching Henry, the 
' good,' his subtraction tables, you may also be building up the char- 
acter of Johnnie, the ' bad,' who will soon master the tables when 
once made to have a liking for better things?" 

And, Socrates, so well has your method succeeded, that I am 
rewarded by seeing the face, that but a few moments before, was the 
picture of despondence now covered with smiles of hope and joy; 
and I say to myself, when alone, " surely the time spent in studying 
such a man is far from being wasted." 



State Normal College 73 

" Every man/' says Sedgwick, " however humble his station or 
feeble power, exercises some influence on those about him for good 
or evil." 

As Prof. David Maclure has so beautifully expressed it: 

" For good or bad our lives an influence make ; 
Perchance to live and spread when we are dead. 
E'en as the pebbles thrown into the lake 
Will move the waves in widening circle spread 
Each circle wid'ning, wid'ning till it break 
Upon the margin of its little sea. 
So every influence doth its journey take 
Perchance to break upon Eternity!" 

Then, fellow-teachers, let us one and all join hands in this work 
and raise the standard of the teacher so high that all drones will 
find it so far above them that they must either be " up and doing " 
or hide their heads for very shame. I make this appeal from the 
State Superintendent of Public Instruction down to the teacher of the 
smallest school in the smallest town of the State. 



HISTORICAL ADDRESS 

By Emerson W. Keyes, '48 

Mr. President and Fellow Meitibers of the Alumni Association of the 
Albany State Nor7nal School and New York State Normal College : 

Our theme concerns the inception and progress of an institution 
whose beginning was but the expression of a hope. 

Its earlier years, comprised in about equal parts, a promise to ful- 
fill that hope, and a plea for time in which to make that promise 
good. 

Later on, that struggle was over — the existence of the institution 
was secure — its character and destiny were left to be wrought out 
by its friends. 

And, now, at the close of fifty years of vicissitudes, of trial and 
of triumph, it brings to us to-day a ripened result, exceeding every 
hope indulged and every promise made in its behalf, and worthily 
equipped to enter upon the broader field of achievement which lies 
before it. 

Institutions cannot be considered to advantage apart from their 
environment. 

Institutions and Their Environment 

If, during these fifty years the world has not moved — if our Alma 
Mater has felt no impulse, gathered no inspiration from an intense, 
surging and ever-changing life from without and beyond it, our 
chronicle will needs be brief. For in such case, to-day is but as yes- 
terday and to-morrow shall be as to-day. Then were this commem- 
orative occasion vanity and emptiness, for it would mark nothing 
but the flight of time. There is no history in the measureless spaces 
of mere duration. 



74 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

It is the din, and strife, and ceaseless toil of each to-day, out from 
which there emerges a better, brighter, worthier to-morrow for 
ourselves and for mankind, that make history. 

Hence, our first concern is with the movement of the ponderous 
forces of mind and nature that have wrought outside these walls; 
with the triumphal march of science, industry, invention and the 
arts, and with the moral and spiritual forces which have guided this 
material development to salutary uses. 

For it is these that have struck the key and set the measure of 
progress which our institution must have maintained, if it has been 
true to the spirit and life of the age. 

Any review of this development must be suggestive rather than 
descriptive, touching a few only of the more marked and striking 
illustrations of the world's progress during the last fifty years. 

Fifty Years of Progress 

The increase and re-distribution of population in the last fifty years 
have created necessities demanding the more urgent and effective 
ministry of the moral and material activities of life. 

Growth of Population and its Demands 

The conditions and appliances in our State which may have been 
sufBcient to meet the requirements of two and a half millions of 
people are found wholly inadequate for the needs of six and a half 
millions. An urban population of half a million, distributed amongst 
ten different cities may do very well with the omnibus and horse- 
car — but when these become 4,000,000 — there must be steam transit 
and elevated railways and bridges to span the broad rivers which 
separate business and home. 

Development of Railways 

During this period the growth of the railway system has been^ 
in our own State from about 600 to more than 8,000 miles, and in the 
country-at-large from 4,500 to more than 175,000. The vast prob- 
lems of productive industry, exchange and distribution have been 
changed by the change in the conditions of transportation which 
this agency has wrought. 

Ocean Steam Navigation 

Time was when for those " who went down to the sea in ships," 
prayers were offered as for those who were to encounter great peril. 
To-day condolence and sympathy, if not prayers, are for those who 
abide on shore, unable to join the throngs of pleasure-seekers, to 
whom an ocean voyage and its continental tour are a delightful 
summer excursion. And the ocean steamship is practically the pro- 
duct of the half century now closing. 

The Telegraph 

It was in 1844 that there was flashed from Washington to Balti- 
more and instantaneously returned, this significant and impressive 
message: "What hath God wrought!" And what a marvelous 



State Normal College 75 

force in the control of human afifairs, in shaping the development 
and destiny of the race, had then and there its beginning! 

Other Applications of Electricity 

But the telegraph is only one of the numberless forms and 
devices of applied electricity. 

As a remedial agent it is as familiar to us as were calomel and the 
lancet to our fathers. 

The brilliant glow of the electric light holds close companionship 
with the weird shadows which seem like marvels of the sculptor's 
art strewn along our pathway. 

The whirr and clang of the trolley waken echoes which fifty years 
ago were voiceless and have remitted to lasting silence the tinkle of 
the bells upon the car-horse and the sharp clatter of his hoofs upon 
the stony pavement 

The little wire stretched above our heads, which would be rent 
apart if directly applied to the moving of a single empty car, is made 
the bearer — the conductor — of a force that moves hundreds of 
loaded cars along their steep and devious way, and by the same 
mysterious agency, the call of the " Hello-girl " — like the shot fired 
at Lexington — " is heard around the world ! '^ 

Progress in Engineering 

The triumphs of engineering have taken the humor out of the 
story told at the expense of some board or council, that resolved, 
1st, to build a new jail; 2d, to build it upon the foundation of the 
old jail, and 3d, that the old jail should not be torn down until the 
new jail was finished! For marvels far greater than this are a part 
of our every-day experience and observation; where the engineei 
prosecutes a work of reconstruction on a railway or bridge — with 
no interruption of their use, and without wholly destroying the old 
structure until the new is ready to take its place — and this is but 
one incident in illustration of the power which man has acquired over 
material things to shape them to his uses. 

Inventions 

Of inventions and devices that have lightened the burden of 
toil, that have manifolded the effectiveness of labor, that have multi- 
plied the comforts and intensified the enjoyments of life — there is 
no end. 

It is an ever-recurring wonder how the business of clothing man- 
kind could be carried on without the sewing machine. 

The pretty type-writer, whose name is Legion, now takes her 
place beside the mother-in-law as the target for rude jokes. 

Fifty years ago matches had not ceased to be a luxury — and 
resort was had to the neighbor, perhaps half a mile away, for a 
burning brand with which to renew the kitchen fire carelessly let 
go out. 

The mothers and nurses of to-day know nothing of the weariness 
that comes from the effort to quiet a crying child, into whose tender 



76 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

flesh the point of a hidden pin is eating its way. The safety pin has 
done away with all that — and what a boon it is to the forlorn bachelor 
whose buttons or suspenders have gone wrong! 

Progress in Art 

In art, what strides have been made in the period under review. 
The g^audy lithographs of rustic beauties, the more ambitious por- 
traits of the presidents, or the more practical but highly colored 
county map — no longer adorn the walls of the " best room " in the 
house, but have given place to engravings and chromos possessing 
much artistic merit. 

It is about fifty years ago that the itinerant daguerrean started on 
his travels; but he long since folded his tent and passed away, and 
the kodak fiend or the artistic photographer has taken his place. 

The Healing Art 

. In no department of human activity has greater or more benefi- 
cent progress been made than in the healing art; and much of this 
progress has been made possible through the discovery of the use 
of anaesthetics whose introduction is nearly contemporaneous with 
the foundation of our Normal School. 

Reduction in Postage — 1845 

Few in these times can apprehend what an incubus resting upon 
social and material progress was removed or lessened, when, in 1845, 
the first reduction was made in the rates of postage, from six, twelve 
and one-half, eighteen and three-quarters and twenty-five cents per 
sheet, according to distance. Here again note the coincidence in 
time with the establishment of this school. I fancy the students of 
the school kept up a more active correspondence with their homes 
after July, 1845, than they were able to indulge before. And what 
a powerful factor in human progress has this change in the policy of 
government proved to be. We cannot conceive of business upon 
any scale like that of to-day as possible, if burdened by such rates 
of postage as fifty years ago prevailed. 

And yet there were so-called statesmen — those at least occupying 
the places that ought to have been filled by statesmen — who 
opposed the removal of this burden, just as there were those who 
opposed government aid to the telegraph of Morse, — about the same 
time. Let us not recall from the oblivion which kindly hides them 
from view, the names of those who sought to block the wheels of 
the world's progress and stay its triumphant march. They, or their 
kind, are not all dead yet; they still sit in the halls of Congress and 
in our own Legislature, and in the executive chairs of many a state; 
and fifty years hence they may be the theme of some chronicler of 
that day. Perhaps, too, in the retributions of the future, there may 
be provided a special purgatory for those who in public station on 
earth, strove to stay the progress of mankind. Their punishment 
should be to have ever before their clarified vision the conditions 
of life and being on earth, as these would have been had they sue- 



State Normal College 77 

ceeded in their obstructive efforts; or where they did succeed, there 
should be revealed to them the better and nobler estate which but 
for them would have been the heritage of mankind. 

' . Property Rights of Women 

We must pass without exposition the liberalizing policy in our 
State government which came in with the Constitution of 1846, and 
which in its outcome embraced the abrogation of the barbarities of 
the English Common Law with respect to the right of woman to 
control her own earnings and property, without interference from 
man, even in the person of a husband. 

The War and its Results 

Nor must we fail to mention, as among the ponderous forces that 
have wrought upon all the interests and institutions of the land, the 
great conflict in which some of our associates bore active and honor- 
able part, which brought union and liberty to a land of boasted 
freedom, one-eighth of whose people were slaves, and expunged 
the anomaly of that brazen record from our history and experience 
forever. 

Such, briefly and feebly outlined, has been the environment during 
its inception and progress of the Albany Normal School. Of all 
this wonderful life and growth it has been a part. By these has it 
been lifted up to higher and higher planes; by these has it been car- 
ried forward upon new lines of experiment in new pathways of action 
and endeavor. And in so far as it has been true to the inspiration of 
this out-lying life, in so far it has imparted to that life the impress of 
its own work and worth, and been itself a force among, and with 
the forces that have made life better worth living than it was fifty 
years ago. 

In this suggestion I trust will be found some justification for an 
introduction in which so little of recorded history of the Albany 
State Normal School finds a place. 

The Educational Problem 

It could not be that while the great problems of human experience 
and human destiny were having wrought in them these marvelous 
changes, the problem of education committed to the school for solu- 
tion, should undergo no change. The educational training and 
equipment that would serve to guide the forces of life fifty years ago, 
would be impotent in the presence of the more ponderous forces 
with which they must contend to-day. Those who would stay the 
advance in educational thought, who deprecate the introduction of 
so many new notions, and sigh for the good old school days, make 
the mistake of beginning at the wrong end. They should undertake 
to stay the march of human progress altogether. If they can but 
bring the world to a halt, they will have no need to worry about the 
school ; that will stop too ! But so surely as the world moves, must 
the school move with it, and fulfill its function as a restraint and 
guide to that industrial and material growth and development which 



78 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

unrestrained might prove a ministry of evil, rather than of good. 

Fifty years ago the financial requirements of our common school 
system were met by a State appropriation of but little more than 
$200,000; this year it is nearly $4,000,000. ^ 

In 1844, little more than $1,000,000 was paid in this State for 
teachers' wages; in 1894, it will be nearly or quite $12,000,000. 

The first appropriation for our Normal School was $10,000 per 
annum; for the Normal School system in this State to-day, we con- 
tribute annually over a quarter of a million. 

Such are some of the material or business aspects of our educa- 
tional development, and we might fill our allotted time with these 
illustrations. 

But the real progress in education is not to be found nor sought 
in the financial or bookeeping department of the business. We must 
look for this in the enlargement of the scope of the school, in the 
improvement of its methods, in the elevation of its standards, in the 
force and effectiveness of its work under the new conditions by 
which it is confronted from day to day. 

Changed Conditions Demand Changed Appliances 

Fifty years ago the school attendance in cities was only about one- 
seventh of the attendance in the public schools of the State. Now 
the attendance in cities exceeds that in the rural districts. In 1845, 
the cities embraced only about twenty-two per cent of the popula- 
tion of the State. In 1894, they contain sixty per cent, and it is safe 
to say that not less than seventy or seventy-five per cent of the popu- 
lation is gathered in centers able to maintain graded schools, to 
employ competent teachers and to secure capable supervision. Such 
changes as these must introduce new factors into the educational 
problem of the State, as we shall presently see. 

Fifty years ago the plan and scope and character of the common 
school work in cities were not superior to those in the rural districts. 
In that day the district school commanded the service of the 
brightest and brainiest young men in its neighborhood. They 
would teach in the winter, work in the summer, and take six or eight 
weeks at an academy or private school in the spring and fall. They 
knew nothing of " apperception " of " concepts," or " percepts " of 
" type-forms " or " method-wholes." They had never heard of Com- 
menius, nor, in my judgment, was that a great misfortune. Their 
professional books, when they had any, were Hall's " Lectures," 
Abbott's " Teacher " and the " School and the Schoolmaster." Later 
on came Page's " Theory and Practice of Teaching," which was a 
revelation and a boon. Of course, not all country teachers were of 
this type, but not a few such found their way into the school-houses 
that dotted the valleys and the rough hillsides of the farming 
regions, where they inspired not only their pupils, but oftentimes 
the entire neighborhood, with the zeal and enthusiasm for learnng 
by which they were themselves possessed. But the evolutions of 
time wrought great changes in these simple pastoral conditions, 
the aroused activities of life were calling for the services, in other 



State Normal College 79 

fields, of all who were ambitious for a career. And these live 
teachers heard in that call a better promise, and saw in the occasion 
of it a broader opening for the future, than the district school, for 
three months in the year, at ten or twelve dollars per month, and 
" board-round " could offer. Without some diversion that should 
make more attractive and promising the business of teaching, that 
should make of it something more and better than a temporary 
makeshift, the prospects for the future of our public school system 
were poor indeed. And that diversion came through the use and 
employment of the following agencies: Teachers' Classes in Acade- 
mies, Teachers' Institutes, and finally and chiefly, the State Normal 
School. 

Academic Classes 

The conditions of their organization and environment prevented 
academic classes from contributing as effectively as the occasion 
required, to the training of teachers for the business of teaching. It 
was found, later, that they could render better service as an auxiliary 
than as a principal factor in the work of educational reform. 

Teachers' Institutes 

The Teachers' Institutes had a mission peculiarly their own. It 
was not their province to supersede the work and training of the 
school or academy, but to supplement these. It was the suggestive- 
ness rather than the thoroughness of the daily exercises, the awaken- 
ing of thought, the opening before the mind of vistas to be explored, 
and the professional spirit elicited, that made, and that to-day make 
these gatherings fruitful of good and salutary results. 

I shall ever cherish with satisfaction and pride the memory of 
that good fortune which for a time placed me in ofHcial relation to 
this agency and enabled me to render to it an humble, though thor- 
oughly loyal service. 

The relation of the Institute to the Normal School soon became 
intimate and mutually helpful. The teachings of Page and Eaton, 
and Bowen and Phelps, and Webb and others, who devoted their 
vacations to institute work were full of novelty and freshness, and 
to us back-woods teachers of forty to fifty years ago, were an inspi- 
ration. And the Normal School reached forth its arm and gathered 
to itself the choicest spirits of the institute, and trained them to go 
back among the institutes and into the higher schools of the State. 
In this way was the influence of the Normal School diffused through- 
out the State and made to reach the lowliest schools within its 
borders. 

Problems of the School Affected by the Problems of Life 

But we must not lose sight of what was going on outside of the 
school, changing year by year, we may indeed say day by day, the 
educational problem presented to the school for solution. 

Under the operation of the newly-discovered and newly-applied 
mechanical and industrial forces, the volume and variety of produc- 
tion were immeasurably increased, the capacity of transportation 



8o Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

correspondingly enlarged, and traffic and exchange stimulated in a 
wonderful degree. These activities drew from the interior to the sea- 
board and to new centers of trade and industry along the new high- 
ways, an enterprising and thrifty population seeking to share in the 
growing prosperity, and stimulated an immense immigration still 
further to change and complicate our social, industrial and educa- 
tional problem. It was out of these conditions that there came the 
demand and necessity for more teachers, and for better teaching, a 
demand which it was the mission of the Normal School, according 
to the means given it, to supply. 

Free Schools 

Practical measures to meet these conditions in our problem, early 
took the form of an effort to make free in fact, as well as in name, 
the public schools of the State. The agitation commenced about 
1843. It entered into the discussion of the constitutional convention 
in 1846. It was the theme of governors' messages and of the reports 
of legislative committees. It culminated in an act approved by popu- 
lar vote in 1849, ^^t which was replaced by an act restoring the rate- 
bill system in 1851, though with some concessions in the direction of 
State aid to the rural districts, which abated, but did not remove 
the evil. 

But the conditions which we have noted in the distribution of the 
population in growing centers of trade, commerce and manufacture 
and along new lines of development Avere a powerful instrumental- 
ity in preparing the way for the final triumph of effort to make the 
schools free. The cities of the State had for the most part made 
their schools free before the era which we are now considering; 
but the system of assessment by rate-bill, quite generally prevailed 
and the sums thus collected from the parents of pupils constituted 
nearly half of all the moneys paid for teachers' wages. 

But the grandest impulse given to the free-school movement 
was the enactment, in 1853, of what is known as the Union Free 
School Law. This act made it possible to combine the wealth and 
resources of two or more districts and thereby secure a strong 
organization, properly graded and thoroughly equipped for effective 
work. 

The provision in the act for the establishment of academic depart- 
ments in connection with the Union School, has, during these forty 
years, brought the blessings of higher education to hundreds of 
thousands who would otherwise have been deprived of it. In 1S53 
169 academies reported to the Regents, and in 1892, 385 academies 
and high schools reported nearly 40,000 students. Of these 385 
institutions, 223 were academic departments in Union Free Schools. 

The Higher Education 

Public sentiment was slow in reaching the conclusion at which it 
seems to have arrived, that the higher education is the hope of the 
State! It is not true to-day, whatever it may have been fifty years 
ago, that to endow the masses with a knowledge of the rudimentary 




OLIVER AREY 
1864-1867 



State Normal College 8i 

branches — leaving the attainment of higher education to those who 
have abundant leisure and abundant means to secure it, will at all 
meet the demands of the age. The only safety for the State is in 
opening the gateway of knowledge wide and free to all who will 
enter. The development of the social state, the molding of public 
opinion, the formulating of political policies, will, in a large degree, 
be controlled by the more intelligent and thoughtful, the more 
thoroughly trained, and more highly cultured minds of the time. 
Which is better, that these be counted by the hundred or by the hun- 
dred thousand? 

Nor is it true that this advance in the department of higher edu- 
cation has only been made at a sacrifice of the interests and welfare 
of the elementary school. Statistics will show that for every doUai 
added to the cost for higher education, during the last fifty years, 
five, yes, ten dollars have been added to the cost for elementary 
instruction. And this is as it should be. We cannot have the high 
school in any form of practical ei^ciency, except as it is supplied with 
material thoroughly prepared in the school below. Let us then not 
grieve, but rather rejoice over the development of higher education 
in our State, and, above all, let us leave its future where its past has 
been, in the hands of its friends. 

Notwithstanding the impulse given to the free-school movement 
by the act of 1853, it was not until 1867 that the " odious rate bill " 
was finally eliminated from the common school system of the State 
of New York. 

Tribute to Hon. Victor M. Rice 

To Hon. Victor M. Rice, more than to any other, is the honor of 
that achievement due. It was during his third term as Superintend- 
ent of Public Instruction that this crowning result of his adminis- 
tration, distinguished by many notable features, was reached. As 
I write, there lies before me the " New York Educational Exhibit 
at the Columbian Exposition," from which I copy the following rela- 
ting to this great event. " He (Mr. Rice), met with the most formid- 
able opposition, but this only tended to rouse him the more, and he 
fairly laid siege to the Legislature with irresistible arguments and 
energetic appeals until that adamantine body at last crumbled 
beneath the thunder of his eloquence." 

Now that reads well, but it is not true! It is not history. 
Mr. Rice never did things in that way, and in this matter he was very 
careful not to arouse the enemy by the din and noise of an assault 
when a little strategy was sure to be vastly more effective. His 
strong point was in semi-social and semi-official conference with 
committees having a bill in charge. It was there that his masterly 
tactics were displayed. His last and successful campaign against 
the " odious rate bill " and for free schools, was conducted 
as quietly as an evening prayer meeting. The change of a few words 
in the existing law would accomplish the desired result. Outside of 
the comijiittees, I doubt if one member in ten had any suspicion 



82 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

that in voting for the amendments he was voting to make the 
schools free. 

But the amendments to the existing law were skillfully drawn, 
on lines that avoided friction, and in a form that rendered the change, 
in its practical operation, almost inappreciable. 

The establishment in 1854 of the office of State Superintendent of 
Public Instruction, and the restoration, in 1856, in a modified form, 
of the system of county supervision, which had been abolished in 
1847, contributed to the more effective working of the machinery of 
our educational system. And for the latter we are also indebted to 
Mr. Rice, as well as for the expansion in our State of the Normal 
School system. 

And among the agencies contributing to the advance in educa- 
tional thought and in educational methods, passing mention should 
be made of educational journals. They have been a very important 
factor in educational progress. The works on pedagogy will, against 
the two or three to which I had access, constitute a large library 
in themselves. Town associations, district associations, county and 
State associations — the national association, educational conventions, 
convocations and summer schools attest the growing interest year 
by year in educational improvement — and their prepared papers and 
critical discussions, and their careful and thorough researches 
through committees of ten and committees of fifteen and com- 
mittees by the score, bring to the literature of education some of its 
most valuable contributions. 

Such roughly sketched, in very great haste, are some of the inci- 
dents attending the growth and development, during the last fifty 
years, of the school as an educational factor. 

Amid this environment the Albany State Normal School had its 
inception and development. 

For many years it had been proclaimed by those on the watch 
towers of educational thought, that the public schools were not 
fulfilling, as they should, the purposes of their establishment. 
Doubtless, they were no worse than they had been, but the growth and 
development of other human interests demanded that they should be 
better; not to to be better was to go backward. To make them bet- 
ter there must be better teachers — for " as is the teacher, so is the 
school." To have better teachers they must be better taught and 
trained for the business of teaching. Such was the compact and 
resistless logic which pervaded educational discussion for many years 
before it found embodiment in the establishment of this school. 

Early Movements for Professional Training 

So early as 1826, Governor De Witt Clinton, in his message to the 
Legislature, called attention in the following words to the necessity 
for a class of more highly trained teachers: "It must be conceded 
that the information of many of the instructors of our common 
schools does not extend beyond rudimental education; that our 
expanding population requires constant accessions to their numbers, 
and that to realize these views, it is necessary that some new plan 



State Normal College " 83 

for obtaining able teachers should be devised. I, therefore, recom- 
mend a seminary for the education of teachers, in the monitorial 
system of instruction, and in those useful branches of knowledge 
which are proper to engraft on elementary attainments." 

It will be seen that that eminent and far-seeing statesman had his 
eye on something beyond the rudimentary branches in the common 
schools, and hoped " to break down the barriers which poverty had 
erected against the acquisition and dispensation of knowledge, and 
thereby to restore the just equilibrium of society." 

The literature committee of the senate, to whom was referred 
that portion of the message relating to education, through its chair- 
man, the Hon. John C. Spencer, made an able report, concurring 
with the governor in regard to the importance of a supply of com- 
petent teachers; but the committee deemed that reliance for these mu^t 
for the present be placed on our academies and colleges. I regard 
it as a most fortunate circumstance, that the governor's suggestion 
of a school or seminary for the education of teachers " in the moni- 
torial system," was found to be inexpedient and impracticable. That 
system or mode of imparting instruction may have had this in its 
favor, that it was possibly better than no instruction at all. But 
it surely was a great mercy that saved the State from having it 
engrafted upon our common-school system, as a model for imita- 
tion. Better — far better — to wait as we did wait, for nearly twenty 
years, before adopting and putting into operation a plan of profes- 
sional instruction, than to have had foisted upon our experiment 
that crude and barbarous bedlam, known as the monitorial system. 

But discussion and agitation of the question of trained teachers 
continued during all these years, scarcely a message from any gov- 
ernor or report from any superintendent failed to urge it upon the 
attention of the Legislature. It was the leading topic of discussion at 
educational gatherings, and the press poured forth communications, 
addresses and essays, thus keeping the subject alive in the minds of 
the people. 

Successful Effort 

At last the time seemed ripe for action. The experiment of Nor- 
mal Schools had been entered upon in Massachusetts. This brought 
the subject of normal training out of the domain of theory and within 
the realm of fact. It was now something to be dealt with on its 
practical side. In 1845, the Hon. Calvin T. Hulburd was a member 
of assembly from the county of St. Lawrence, and was made chair- 
man of the committee on colleges, academies and common schools 
of that body. In 1844 he was re-elected and again placed at the head 
of the committee. Early in the session, he visited the Normal 
Schools in Massachusetts, made himself familiar with their organiza- 
tion and work, and collected a vast body of information concerning 
similar institutions in Europe. With this material in hand, he pre- 
pared and presented an elaborate, exhaustive and eloquent report 
in advocacy of the establishment of a Normal School at the capital 
in this State. The whole of that report read before you on this 



84 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

occasion, would, in my judgment, be more interesting, suggestiv 
and appropriate than this historical essay, which contains so little of 
the history of this institution. 

But we can do no more than record the success of Mr. Hulburd 
and his associates upon the committee, through the passage on the 
7th of May, 1844, of the act for the establishment and support, for 
five years, of the Albany State Normal School. We cannot doubt, 
that had no Calvin T. Hulburd been found to give to the cause of 
Normal Schools the support of his zeal and enthusiasm, the advent 
of a successful champion could not long have been delayed, and suc- 
cess must have been achieved under some other leader. 

"Honor to Whom Honor" 

But the championship of the right man, at the right time, and in 
the right way, is always a most felicitous incident in every large and 
successful movement We have no occasion to enter upon hypo- 
thetical history. Columbus did discover the new world ; Washington 
was commander-in-chief of the armies of the revolution and first 
president of the United States ; Grant did bring the war to a success- 
ful close; Lincoln did emancipate four millions of slaves; and we 
have no call to inquire concerning what would have been the course 
of events, had these heroes failed to materialize in the emergencies 
which gave scope to their energies. " They came, they saw, they 
conquered," and to them be all praise and honor and gratitude for- 
ever more. And of Calvin T. Hulburd, the hero of our theme to-day, 
we accord the like meed of praise. 

Let us note in passing some other felicitous incidents in the incep- 
tion of this institution. 

Simplicity of Organization 

In nothing was the institution more fortunate than in the simplic- 
ity of its organization. A wise and far-seeing mind was that which, 
in a law covering less than a page, laid the foundations — not of a 
school — an institution merely, but of a system of means and appli- 
ances that should change the direction and mold the development 
of common-school education in our State for all time. 

The first section provided the sum deemed necessary to establish 
the school; the second, the means for its maintenance during an 
experimental period of five years. The third section contained the 
whole scheme of organization and development, and the fourth simp'y 
provided for a report each year to the Legislature, concerning the 
"progress, condition and prospects of the school, together with an 
account of expenditures on its behalf." 

Nothing was omitted that was necessary or needful for its support 
and conduct, nothing was inserted that would obstruct or impede 
its development, nothing that would impair perfect freedom of action 
on the part of those into whose hands its destiny was committed. 

This simplicity of structure, this harmony in development, this 
freedom and effectiveness in operation, were secured through the 
employment of an agency — nearly as old as the State, and which, 



State Normal College 85 

for sixty years, had been charged with the care and direction of 
higher education. This was the Board of Regents of the University 
of the State of New York — first incorporated in 1784. 

To this body, in conjunction with the Superintendent of Common 
Schools, was committed the supervision, management and govern- 
ment of the school. The direct care and management of the school 
were to be in the hands of an executive committee of five, of whom 
the Superintendent was to be one, the remaining four members to 
be appointed by the Regents. This gave to the management of the 
school that independence and that permanence so important in the 
establishment, not of a school or institution merely, but of a princi- 
ple and system in the educational development and progress of the 
age. This form of organization is still in force. By means of it 
harmony in council and agreement in action have been secured, and 
the administration has been kept free from the bickerings and scan- 
dals, which a narrower and more localized organization might have 
evoked. The names of this first executive committee of the Albany 
State Normal School deserve to be put on record in any commemo- 
rative sketch, however brief, of the school. They were: Hon. Sam- 
uel Young, Superintendent of Schools, Chairman; Hon. Gideon 
Hawley, Secretary of the Board of Regents; Rev. Dr. Alonzo Pot- 
ter, Rev. Dr. William H. Campbell and Francis Dwight. 

Personal Mention 

As Superintendent of Schools, Col. Young had distinguished him- 
self by his enlightened and progressive ideas concerning education. 
Mr. Hawley, as the first Superintendent of Schools, under the first 
act for their establishment, in 1812, which position he held until 
1821, was the founder of the system of common schools in this 
State. To him do the people of the State owe a lasting debt of 
gratitude for his distinguished services during the period of nearly 
ten years at a compensation of $400 per year. Rev. Drs. Potter and 
Campbell became distinguished in their profession, the former as 
bishop of Pennsylvania, and the latter as president of Rutg^er's Col- 
lege. Francis Dwight had spent several years in Europe examin- 
ing systems of public educaion, had founded, and was then conduct- 
ing the "District School Journal," and was also county superintendent 
of schools for Albany county. His death in the following year was 
deeply mourned as a loss to the cause of education generally, and to 
the Normal School in particular. He was succeeded by Hon. Har- 
manus Bleecker, and our first day's exercises were held in the hall 
which bears his name. 

Location of the Normal School 

A most fortunate incident in connection with the establishment of 
the school was the choice of its location. In their report upon the 
subject, the committee of the assembly had wisely remarked: "If 
the experiment cannot be tested in the presence of all the people, it 
should be before all the representatives of the people." 

Prejudice against the institution had not died out at the expiration 
of its trial term, and it is a matter of grave doubt whether, had it 



86 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

been located at any point remote from the capital, its term would 
have been renewed. 

Here, it was subject to the visitation of the representatives of the 
people during the sessions of the Legislature. Those favorably 
inclined toward the school would have their faith strengthened, and 
those opposed, would, not infrequently, have their opposition 
removed. 

The students coming from all parts of the State, would find friends 
or acquaintances among the State officers or members of the Legis- 
lature, upon whom they would, consciously or unconsciously, pro- 
duce a favorable impression. And these representatives of the 
people, returning to their homes, would carry with them an influence, 
sometimes an enthusiasm, most helpful in its efifect upon public 
sentiment. 

An Incident 

An instance in illustration can hardly be out of place on this 
occasion. 

The principal of an academy in the western part of the State, was 
wont, from time to time, as opportunity offered, to invite some 
prominent citizen of the village to deliver a more or less formal 
address of advice and encouragement to those students who expected 
to teach during the coming winter. One of these whose services 
were thus secured was the member of assembly from that district 
in the winter of 1845 — ^j^st after the opening of the Normal School. 
Plain, practical, and at times, quaint in his manner of presenting 
advice, he sought to stimulate and encourage the class by urging 
upon their attention the efforts that were making for the improve- 
ment of teachers, and the elevation of the standard of teaching. In 
illustration of his theme, he gave an account of a visit made by him 
during the session of the Legislature, to the State Normal School. In 
simple, graphic language, he described the comprehensiveness of the 
plan, the intelligence of the method, and, above all, the earnestness 
of the spirit which characterized the institution and its work. 

And thus was vindicated the wisdom of its founders, when they 
located the Normal School within the observation of the representa- 
tives of the people. 

Animated solely by an earnest and unselfish desire to promote 
the welfare of the institution, which had been committed to their 
hands, the committee, whom we have named, entered upon their 
work. No narrow, sordid nor partisan motive appealed to these 
men for favor. State pride and local influence were naught to them, 
unless these could aid the committee in the execution of their trust. 
Interference that should be harmful or even of doubtful expediency, 
they would not tolerate. 

The most difficult, the most critical duty that lay before the com- 
mittee, that upon which, more than upon any other the fate of the 
experiment must depend, was most wisely discharged in the selection 
of David P. Page, of Newburyport, Massachusetts, as principal of 
the school. 



State Normal College 87 

May we not pause to inquire whether at other times, and in other 
places, the cause of education has not suffered because of the lack, 
in bodies invested with the power of appointment, of that sense of 
honor, that devotion to principle, that loyalty to duty, which ani- 
mated the executive committee of the Albany State Normal School? 

This is not the time in which to pronounce a eulogy upon the 
memory of that accomplished gentleman, consummate teacher and 
wise counsellor, David P. Page. When that eulogy is pronounced, 
it must be by a tongue more eloquent, a mind more acute and better 
trained than mine. 

His Work Survived 

On the first day of the new year, 1848, he entered into his rest. 
" Succeed or die " was the admonition given him by a friend as he left 
his New England home to enter upon this great experiment. He did 
succeed — and we shall never know how much his death contributed 
to that success. The Legislature about to convene would be called 
upon to renew or to discontinue the experiment whose term was 
about to expire. Prejudice against the school had not died out, but 
was still very much alive, and in the minds of many was ver}^ bitter. 
A new Secretary of State and Superintendent of Schools was to be 
installed at the beginning of this new year, and his attitude toward 
the school was the occasion of much solicitude. I heard him say 
that he came to Albany, not free from doubt as to the utility of the 
school, but what he heard of the character and work of the dead prin- 
cipal and what he saw of the results of that work in the organiza- 
tion, methods and achievements of the school, served to remove 
every doubt; and all the strength and fervor of his magnetic per- 
sonality were thereafter enlisted in its behalf. And everywhere the 
memory of the martyr Page seemed to disarm hostilit}^ and prejudice 
and to awaken friendship and confidence. 

With the talisman of his name, success crowned the efforts of the 
friends of the school, and after the 12th of April, 1848, its existence 
ceased to be in peril. 

An Imperishable Monument 

In the nature of things, this address must be largely impersonal. 
Concerning all, who by service, have contributed to the success of 
the Normal School, mention is made in that monument to the 
patience, the industry and the self-sacrifice of Edward P. Water- 
bury, late principal of this School — which he modestly entitled a 
" Historical Sketch," etc. It was his life work in the sense that, as I 
believe, it cost him his life. During the years in which he was 
gathering the material for that wonderful record, he gave himself 
neither respite nor rest. And during much of the time he had upon 
his hands the over-sight of the erection of this building, which was 
then in progress. These, in addition to the ordinary duties of presi- 
dent of this institution, drew so largely upon the vital forces, that 
when he was seized by illness, exhausted nature could make no 
effective resistance to the attack.

The Environment To-day 

The conditions which environ and which make their demands 
upon this institution to-day are strangely unhke those which wit- 
nessed its inception. How has it met the conditions of this changing 
environment? 

Of this we may be very sure, that had this and other Normal 
Schpols that entered upon their work about the same time, proved 
failures, had they not wrought out, with at least a fair degree ol 
success, the problem given them to solve, we should not find, as 
we do find to-day, the whole world of educational thought alive and 
intent upon enlarging and improving the methods of teaching in 
all of our schools. We should not find eleven Normal Schools in this 
State with another in immediate prospect; we should not find 135 or 
more public Normal Schools in the country, besides private Normal 
Schools, pedagogic departments in colleges and universities, summer 
schools, conventions and convocations of educators, all filled with 
zeal and enthusiasm over questions of educational progress, improve- 
ment and reform. 

And we are here to-day to congratulate ourselves and the State, 
and all mankind, that this initial effort was no failure, but is a pro- 
nounced and beneficent success — the evidences of which are seen in 
the development of educational activities all over the State and 
throughout the world. 

Wisdom in Plan 

In nothing was the wisdom and sagacity of the founders of this 
School more thoroughly displayed than in their ready comprehen- 
sion of the necessity of adapting the work undertaken to the material 
to be wrought upon. 

Those who first sought the portals of the Normal School were 
victims of the errors in teaching, which it was the purpose of the 
school to correct and remove. It were of little use to teach the 
history and philosophy of education and principles of psychology 
to those who had not mastered arithmetic, grammar and geography. 
Hence the necessity of making this a school and training school 
combined. Very gradually was the standard of scholarship, as a 
condition of admission, raised. Time was required in which to catch 
the reactionary influence of its own work on the schools of the 
State. Its graduates would find their way into the academies and 
other secondary schools, and by their improved methods in teaching, 
fit their pupils to enter the Normal School upon a higher plane of 
scholarship than themselves had been able to do. An intelligent and 
influential member of the board of trustees in one of the academies 
of the State once congratulated a class of students upon the thor- 
oughness and precision with which they were being taught. The 
class teacher had acquired that precision and clearness of method 
and statement in his course at the Albany Normal School. And 
this work, which has been going on during these fifty years, is the best 
exemplification of the success of the school. Here are its greatest — 
its real triumphs. We point with pride to the 4,000 graduates who 




JOSEPH ALDEN 

1867-18S2 



State Normal College 89 

have gone forth from these walls and glory in their achievements 
in the educational world, as well as in the various departments of 
human activity. But it is less the numerical than the moral force 
which it has exerted which constitutes success. There is hardly 
an academy or high school in the State that has not directly or 
indirectly felt its influence. The development of the Union School 
upon the scale which it has attained would not have been possible 
without the Normal School as a source of supply of qualified 
teachers. 

In legislative halls, in departments of State, in the marts of com- 
merce, in the domain of invention, in every department of human 
activity and progress, are thousands who have been the pupils of 
the graduates of this school. 

The Standard Advanced 

The reactionary influence of these conditions upon the growth 
and development of the School could not fail to be marked and 
decisive. At last it became so pronounced that it was seen the time 
had come in which to materially advance the standard of professional 
work. The standard of scholarship on entering being raised, there 
was opportunity for the introduction of the history, philosophy and 
science of education, for psychology and methods and for the more 
advanced branches in scholarship. 

And so, under the inspiration of the same intelligent direction 
and management, which had held it in check hitherto, with no 
change in the objects or purposes of its creation, simply availing 
itself of the changed conditions in education, which it had done so 
much to promote, did our institution enlarge the scope, while hold- 
ing fast to the central purpose of its work. 

If to round out the half century of its experience and effort with 
this grand consummation be not success, then where, indeed, may 
success be found? To all the faithful, loyal workers in the Board of 
Regents, in the executive committee and in the faculty, who, during 
all these fifty years have wrought to this end, be praise and 
benediction. 

And to you, my dear sir, first president of this first State Nonnal 
College and to your associates, praise and congratulation upon this 
crowning achievement. Into worthy hands has fallen this goodly 
heritage of grand opportunity. 

When the revolving years shall fill out the cycle of the century 
of this institution, may the chronicler of that day record the loftier 
triumphs achieved through instrumentalities, which it will be your 
good fortune to have set in motion. 

Conclusion 

In conclusioUj we would not fail to pay tribute to the memorv ot 
our comrades who have fallen by the way. It would be invidious 
to name a few conspicuous names. Each in his own heart will name 
a classmate or friend, who passed away all too soon. Of many, we 
know that the end came to them while in the full flusli of manhood 



9© Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

or womanhood, full of joy and hope, and of the pride of life. To 
others, it came as a crown of martyrdom, the outcome of years of 
heroic self-sacrifice and patient toil that knew no rest until it was 
found in the grave. We will cherish the memory of all who have 
gone before — and can pay them no more sincere homage than in 
accepting as our own, their high ideals. 

" Yet a few days and tis — 
The all-beholding: sun shall see no more 
In all his course." 

Station in this life is high or low, as the nature of him who is 
called to it, is high or low. A small soul may occupy — it cannot 
fill — a large place. What, in the world's view, is a humble place, 
may be made important and conspicuous by a worthy spirit in pos- 
session; the highest cannot confer honor upon a weak or faithless 
incumbent. If, therefore, our virtues shall be commemorated after 
we have done with earth and earthly things, we need wish no higher 
tribute than this: "In all things faithful!" 



A MEMORIAL TABLET 

By a. N. Husted, '55 

" Yon marble minstrel's voiceless tone 
In deathless songs shall tell, 
When many a vanquished age has flown, 
The story, how ye fell." 

The response to President Lincoln's "Call" of April, 1861, for 
75,000 volunteers to put down the rebellion then assuming threaten- 
ing proportions in our southern States, was prompt and ample. Two 
elements of our population were quick to fill the ranks of the hastily 
gathered regiments. First, the fiery young patriots whose blood was 
all aflame that traitor hands had desecrated the flag of their country. 

Second, the large number of wild, reckless youths, ever ready for 
an exciting adventure, who thought the war would be almost blood- 
less and of short duration — they must hasten to get what fun they 
could out of it while it lasted. 

In but little more than a year the aspect of affairs had greatly 
changed ; the holiday phase of the rebellion had entirely disappeared. 
The battle of Bull Run, the siege of Yorktown, the seven days' 
battle before Richmond, and other severe engagements in which 
thousands on both sides had been killed or wounded; the rebel hosts 
so successful as to endanger the safety of the nation's capital and 
threaten the invasion of the free States, had made it only too plain 
that a life and death struggle between Freedom and Slavery was at 
hand, and that only by the greatest sacrifice of those who loved their 
country and would perpetuate its free institutions, could the now 
" Great Rebellion " be subdued. 



State Normal College 91 

Then it was that the cooler patriots and those who hitherto had 
shrunk from the hfe of the soldier felt that they, too, were '' called." 
So it came to pass that in the summer of 1862 a large number of the 
best and bravest of our young men left school and college — dropping 
their books only to pick up the sword and the musket — rallied to 
the support of Freedom's flag, and offered themselves to fill up the 
. now more thaa decimated ranks of the Union Army. 

In September of that year, the " Normal School Company," num- 
bering 100, was mustered into the service of the United States " for 
three years or the war," and soon became an integral part of the 
"Army of the Potomac," then facing the rebel "Army of Northern 
Virginia," at Antietam Ford, Md. 

Just how many of our " Normal boys " were " boys in blue " we 
are unable to say. Not all, by any means, of those who joined the 
army were in the " School " company. Many who did not graduate, 
and of whose services we have no record, were equally worthy as 
those whose names are borne on the roll of our Alumni. Of the lat- 
ter, our Historical Catalogue, so patiently and laboriously com- 
piled by President Waterbury, gives a full report. 

That some monumental recognition of these services and sacrifices 
should be erected by the surviving Alumni has long been felt to be 
due, not only to the dead, but to the living as well. At the recent 
Reunion this matter was presented by Rev. Milford H. Smith, '78, 
and met such hearty and generous response that a sum of money 
sufficient for the proposed erection — a Memorial Tablet, bearing the 
names of all our graduates who died in the service of their country — 
was contributed, and is now in the hands of our Alumni treasurer. 
This " Roll of Honor" will bear the following names: 

Major Chas. L. Brown, '46, killed at Malvern Hill, 1862. 

G. Herman Stevens, '46, died of disease at Port Hudson, 1863. 

Col. Henry D. Hughes, '49, died of disease at Port Hudson, 1863. 

Capt. Norman Allen, '49, died of disease, 1863. 

Stephen S. Read, '49, died of disease, 1864. 

James Griffin, '52, killed in battle near Atlanta, 1864. ■ 

Lieut. James Cheney, '53, killed in battle of Wilderness, 1864. 

Richard D. Carmichael, '54, died of disease at Vicksburg, 1863. 

Wm. B. Gregory, '57, killed at Pittsburg Landing, 1862. 

Hubbard H. Barrett, '57, died of disease. 

George W. Fox, '58, killed in battle, 1861. 

Wm. C. Hollis, '59, killed at second battle Bull Run, 1862. 

James R. Sprague, '59, killed on picket in North Carolina. 

John L. Barrick, '60, died of fever at Washington, D. C, 1862. 

Lieut. Asa L. Howard, '61, died of fever. 

Lieut. Wallace R. Hard, '62, killed at Cold Harbor, 1864. 

Robert B. Darling, '62, killed at Petersburg, 1864. 

Elbert Traver, '62, killed at Gettysburg, 1863. 

Of the 583 men who graduated previous to 1863, 106 served in 
the Union Army; eighteen died in the service; nineteen have died 
since the war and sixty-nine "remain until this day."

ADDRESS BY D. E. WHITMORE, '46. 

Mr. President and Members of the Alumni Association : 

It was with some hesitation that I consented to take a seat on the 
rostrum at this time, to represent the class of '46, as there are doubt- 
less others of the class present who could do so more creditably to 
the class and to themselves. The limit of five minutes, however, was 
an inducement. I may also truthfully say that there are but few who 
have reached the age of nearly threescore years and ten, who are not 
very much more pleased to give attention to 3^ounger people than to 
attempt to interest them. It afifords me great pleasure, however, 
to be present on this occasion, and to extend a kind and hearty 
greeting to all, especially to the remaining members of my class 
who may be present. 

As I look back through the dim vista of forty-nine years, in men- 
tal vision, I see many distinct and impressive pictures of the past. 
I see at this moment most clearly the canal boat drawn by t^vo 
weary looking horses, upon which I rode from Utica to Schenec- 
tady; also those wooden rails of the New York Central Railroad and 
those old-style, stage-coach cars, in which I rode from Schenectady 
to Albany in September, 1845, '^^ enter the Normal School. I see 
also those plain, but comfortable rooms in the building on State 
street, in which the school was organized. And there stands before 
me David P. Page, in almost as vivid personality, as when, with 
pleasant, joyous, genial countenance, he greeted me, at the date of 
my registration as member of the school, and it affords me great 
pleasure that through the dispensation of Divine Providence, after 
the lapse of half a century, I have this privilege of bearing testimony 
to the purity of character, nobleness of manhood and marked ability 
of David P. Page, whose name justly stands pre-eminent among the 
distinguished educators of the past. 

If time permitted, it would also afiford me much pleasure to speak 
of each member of the faculty of 1845 "^^^ 1846, in the most com- 
mendatory terms, having all these years held each in high estimation. 
As I call to mind Professors Perkins, Eaton, Phelps, Clark, Webb, 
Bowen, Illsley, Howard and Miss Hance, the name of each brings 
to mind many kind thoughts and many pleasant memories. 

Again in almost life-like personality, the members of my class, 
with joyous countenances of youthful manhood and womanhood, 
pass before me. What a source of joy and gladness it would be to 
me, could I at this time grasp the hand of each in friendly 
greeting! But, alas! the history of each, written ten years since, 
reveals the fact that nearly one-half of the whole number had at 
that date, journeyed to that bourne whence none return, and it is 
reasonable to suppose that fully one-half of the remainder have, at 
this date, joined those who had gone before, all of whom, I trust, 
have beautiful homes in heavenly mansions. 

I learn by the biographical sketch of each member of my class, 



State Normal College 93 

that some of them located in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsyl- 
vania, Florida, Ohio, Illinois, Kansas and California, called there by 
the demand for competent, model teachers, and that many of them 
had attained positions as educators and citizens, creditable to them- 
selves and to their Alma Mater. I am also pleased to say in this con- 
nection, that according to the best information I have, all the other 
classes have an equally honorable record, and I believe that I am 
fully justified in the assertion that there is no other institution in the 
State, not excepting college or university, that has done more to 
promote the cause of popular education than Albany Normal 
School and College. It may also be truthfully said that Albany 
Normal School has been one of the most successful pioneer insti- 
tutions of its class on the western continent. The other Normal 
Schools, established in various sections of the State, are convincing 
proofs of the grand success and achievements of our Alma Mater. 
Had not Albany Normal School been a success, it is self-evident 
that no other Normal Schools would have been organized in the 
Empire State. 

Owing to the general diffusion of a wise system of popular educa- 
tion and improved methods of instruction, developed by our Normal 
Schools largely, our country has become one of the most prosperous 
on either continent. Two thousand years ago, Plato gave the defi- 
nition of a good education as follows: "A good education consists 
in giving to the body and the soul all the perfection of which they 
are capable." No modern scholar or linguist can give a better defi- 
nition. Our country stands at the head of the nations in arts, 
sciences, inventions, Christianization and in all that pertains to the 
welfare, prosperity and happiness of the people, for the reason that 
the education of our people has been more nearly along the line 
of what constitutes a good education than that of any other country. 

It cannot be otherwise than a heart-felt satisfaction to the Alumni 
of Albany Normal School and College that it has been one of the 
most essential and potent factors in such noble and grand^ results, 
and this should kindle a glowing enthusiasm as to its future pros- 
perity and usefulness. I trust that when another half century shall 
have dawned, our cherished Alma Mater will be deserving of still 
greater honors. 

As a just tribute of respect and a token of appreciation, I will say 
in conclusion, that it has been a lifetime source of satisfaction to me 
that circumstances led me to make use of the superior advantages 
which our Alma Mater furnished, thereby placing at my command 
a sphere of labor and usefulness which in all probability I should 
not have otherwise attaind. I again most heartily congratulate the 
Alumni, in view of their honorable records, and the present faculty 
for the able and efficient manner in which they are sustaining and 
extending the reputation and usefulness of Albany Normal College. 



94 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

FIFTY YEARS IN THE WORLD'S PROGRESS 

By J. H. Thompson, '48 

Mr. President^ Ladies and Gentlemen : 

The occasion which calls us together is suggestive of profound 
reflection. Our celebration is a semi-centennial celebration. It 
falls upon an exceptionally interesting period of time in our blessed 
Christian era. It happens in the last decade of the nineteenth cen- 
tury, a century memorable in all the centuries for astounding and 
momentous developments, especially in the field of invention, experi- 
ment and discovery. 

There has been no period in human history in which the 
spirit of man has been aroused to a fuller activity, and in which 
it has displayed a more varied and splendid energy than that which 
dates from the middle of the present century. 

The good book tells us : " Say not the former times were better 
than these." As a general remark, I believe no past time has been 
so good as the present. Living in this fortunate period of the world's 
history, it has been our privilege to witness the mighty changes 
which have swept away the old conditions and ushered in the era 
of grand achievements. 

In the early days of the present century science was a baby in 
swaddling clothes. Since then she has taken a vast, incalculable 
impulse, and has given back that impulse widely and powerfully to 
every portion of our globe. With her manifold faculties, restless, 
unappeasable, longing for absolute and boundless dominion, her 
forehead flushed with daily triumphs, and radiant with undying 
youth, she has extended in every direction the area of her empire, 
crowning and adorning it with her rich trophies. 

Art and industry have changed not only the face of nature, but the 
most intimate and vital relations of life and society, the intercourse 
of man with man, and the interchange and transmission of thought 
The telegraph has bound the nations of the earth together, and nar- 
rowed the globe. The telephone, which is an adjunct of the tele- 
graph, accepts our message in confidence, and in confidence speaks 
it into the ear which listens a hundred leagues away. Wonderful ! to 
compel that fierce power to utter friendly words, that is born of the 
warring elements; that goes with a leap and a shout on its mission 
of destruction and death, tearing the gnarled oak as if it were a toy, 
and rending the bosom of the everlasting hills. 

The railroad has lessened the hardships of travel, and more than 
quadrupled the wealth of the world. The rich earth has been subdued 
to man's hand, and the forces of nature have been taught to do his 
bidding. The marvelous changes which have been wrought, which 
so attract our admiration and wonder, have not been all of the phy- 
sical. The world has grown wiser and better, as well as stronger 
and richer. While there has been a conceded advance in all material 
interests, in science, in letters and in art, the march of religion, phi- 



State Normal College 95 

lanthropy and the reign of moral law has been not less steady, 
unfaltering and grand. 

Popular education has been placed, a magnificent gift, within the 
reach of every willing child and youth in America; and in the grand 
on-rush of progress, may we not hope speedily to witness the exten- 
sion of this beneficent boon to all youth in all civilized lands under 
the sun? Man's physical and moral development has gone on hand 
in hand, and side by side, at a pace which, compared with the slow 
creeping progress of former centuries, seems magical. 

No other century bears any comparison with the present century 
in uplifting, comforting, alleviating, inspiring influences. It stands 
alone, without a peer; like a nobleman among peasants — like a 
philosopher among the unlearned. 

Among the more active forms of good endeavor, which are the 
glorious offspring of the present century, especially in our own 
country, stand beneficent institutions, silently expressing their great 
and beautiful mission — silently telling us how largely and deeply 
has entered into the spirit of the age, and the hearts of men, the 
influence of Him who lets no form of human suffering appeal in 
vain — homes for the outcast and destitute, schools for the deaf and 
blind, asylums for the idiotic and insane. 

The progress of which I have briefly spoken, to which the past 
bears witness, is prophetic of the future. The world moves on 
toward the millennium. 

" Out of the shadows of night 
The world moves into hght ; 
It is daybreak everywhere." 

In many directions we can discern the dawning rays and pencils 
of light which portend the ushering in of that glorious day when 
the Sun of Righteousness shall illumine and purify the whole world. 



GETTING GRAY 

By W. G. Brownson, '53 

"You are getting gray," said a friend one day, 

As I traveled along the road ; 
"Yes, a little," said I, in a calm reply, 

For the truth of his statement I showed. 

"You are getting gray," said my child at play, 
As he glanced with his bright blue eye 
Through the back of my chair at the fading hair 
"But a little, if any," said I. 

"You are getting gray," said a maiden gay, 
As she tossed back her glossy curls ; 
And I thought of a kiss as I answered the Miss, 
"Not so gray but I think of the girls." 

"You are getting gray, but they hardly can say 
That you show it scarce any as yet, — 
And the little I see makes you dearer to me," — 
Need I tell vou 'twas Carrie said that ? 



g6 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

Ami getting gray at this early day, 
Ere the vigor of manhood is past, 

With so little wrought of the much I had thought 
To perform while the day should last ? 

And is getting gray but a fading away 
Of the fires that have burned in the soul ? 

Down to embers so fast, and to ashes at last, — 
Dost thou read simply this on the scroll ? 

That this getting gray is the sign of decay. 
The white flag of truce to the breeze, — 

With the warfare begun, and no victories won. 
And the warrior seeking his ease ? 

Or, is getting gray like the flowering May, 
Giving promise that summer is near ; 

That the stormy blast of the wintry past 
Shall be followed by sunshine and cheer ? 

Oh, if getting gray is the chosen way 
From the bud to the opening flower, — 

If the lines of white throw a clearer light 
On the mists of the final hour: 

I'll welcome the gray, let there come what may 
To the trunk or the withered leaf, — 

If the fruit be sound ere it fall to the ground, 
If the kernels be ripe in the sheaf. 



RELIGION AND THE SCHOOLS 
By George F. Greene, '76 

Mr. Chairman^ Ladies and Gentlemen : 

It is somewhat difficult for me to understand by what process of 
" natural selection " I have come to be honored with an invitation 
to speak on this platform on this extraordinary occasion. I am 
only a country parson and from a foreign country at that; for my 
home is in New Jersey. But, perhaps, it has been hoped that the 
" Otium cum dignitate," which Horace sings about as attaching to 
the idyllic career of the countryman may in my case prove someho\\ 
to be first cousin to the wisdom of the academy. Possibly it is sim- 
plicity that has been sought ; for I have in mind the speech of a metro- 
politan clergyman at the recent General Assembly of our church at 
Saratoga, of which I was a member, in nominating for the office of 
moderator a well-known minister who lives not a thousand miles 
from Albany. Said he: "I urge the election of this man because 
he is a country minister. His character is one of sweet simplicity. 
And " — he added, with indescribable unction — " if you know of anv- 
thing that is simpler than a country minister, Pd like to know what 
it is!" The argument was, of course, unanswerable, and its state- 
ment was loudly applauded; but my friend the candidate was not 
elected. But whatever your motive in conferring so high an honor 
upon me I am proud to stand before this assemblage of men and

women who are engaged in the noblest and most useful calling on 
earth, and to be privileged publicly to offer a word of congratula- 
tion to our cherished mother whose year of jubilee is celebrated 
to-day. 

This institution has from the first had a work to do that has been 
more practical than ornamental. It has " meant business," as Mr. 
Lowell said of Harvard at the anniversary of that venerable univers- 
ity a few years since. And we may well adopt the words he uttered 
then as expressing our sentiment here and now. " Dear old mother, 
how charming you are in your plain cap and the drab silk that has 
been turned since we saw you! You were constantly forced to 
remind us that you could not afford to give us this and that which 
some other boys had, but your discipline and diet were wholesome, 
and you sent us forth into the world with the sound constitutions and 
healthy appetites that are bred of simple fare." 

The subject that has been assigned to me, for it has not been of 
my choosing, forbids my speaking in an altogether light strain. 
It is my task to tr)^ in a straightforward way, to utter my honest con- 
victions upon a topic concerning which a variety of views exist. And 
I realize that it is altogether probable that some of this audience will 
fail to agree with my positions. Very well; I can only ask that my 
argument receive the consideration that sincerity always deserves. 
And may I not add, concerning the battle of sects over this question 
that there is no division of Protestant and Catholic within the circle 
of my friendships, and that never, as God is my witness, have I pub- 
licly uttered a word of disrespect concerning the religious convic- 
tions of those who adhere to a different branch of the Christian 
Church than my own. My hope is that my message may be that, not 
of a warrior, but of a mediator. My aim is to heal divisions, not 
to widen them. 

A well-known Protestant minister has designated our common- 
school system as " the great American fetich." Whatever we ma}' 
think of the expression, we must agree that the system is deeply 
rooted in public esteem. No civil institution is so loyally upheld by 
so many of our people ; none appeals more urgently to their "business 
and bosoms." A sufficient apology, therefore, for a fresh attempt 
to discuss any of the difficult questions relating to the adjustment of 
religion and the State in the public schools may appear in the gen- 
eral interest which attaches to every phase of the subject. 

It may be well at the outset to classify parties and views. In so 
doing we shall listen to a chorus of discordant voices. ( i.) First, 
there are those Protestants who believe that the secular and 
religious instruction of youth should never be divorced; and who, 
therefore, oppose the structure of our school system on the ground 
that the secular and religious must, according to the genius of our 
government, be divorced in such a system. They regard the system 
as essentially and necessarily atheistic, and hence objectionable. 
( 2.) Then there are the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church, who 
take the same view of the alleged godlessness of our school system. 



98 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

and likewise prefer a system of denominational schools. Thus Arch- 
bishop Corrigan has said: "Denominational schools are, to our 
mind, the only solution of the question." (3.) The next class consists 
of Protestant secularists who support the existing system, and would 

entirely exclude from the schools the Bible, and, presumably, all 
religious instruction, on the ground that the Bible is a sectarian 
book. The late Samuel T. Spear, D. D., may be taken as a repre- 
sentative of this class. ( 4.) Atheists are the next class, who simply 
carry the view of Dr. Spear to its logical consequences, and who 
would expurgate from text-books all references to natural or revealed 
religion. Thus the School Board of Chicago is said to have rejected 
the geographies of Dr. Guyot, though they were admitted to be on 
the whole the best available, on the sole ground that they recognized 
the existence of God. ( 5.) Another class is composed of 
Protestants who, while supporting the existing system, dis- 
tinguish between moral instruction and religious instruction, 
and would admit the former and exclude the latter. Our 
national commission of education, Hon. William T. Harris, is 
one of this class. (6.) Finally, there are Protestants who, while 
friends of the common school, demand that the Bible be retained in 
the schools for the twofold reason that it is not a sectarian book, 
except so far as Christianity is a sect, and that Christianity is inter- 
woven with the innermost life of the American nation. Probably 
the vast majority of Evangelical Protestants regard this demand as 
just. 

We are now prepared to look for light among the clouds which 
surround the subject. And our first assertion is the claim that the 
American school system is a fixture. It is idle at this late day to 
argue against it. Nothing else can take the place of our public 
school. It opens its doors in a generous, democratic way to all 
classes and reflects light into every hidden corner and obscure alley 
of American life. No system of denominational schools cotild possi- 
bly contribute so generously to popular intelligence. It peculiarly 
befriends the poor, oiTering the fruits of intelligence freely to all 
classes. Furthermore, it exercises a particular function in xA.merican- 
izing the youth of the land; a work of the utmost importance in view 
of the fact that one of our gravest national evils lies in the enor- 
mous annual influx into the land of un-American elements. As was 
remarked by Beecher: "The children of all nations of the earth go 
into our common schools and come out Americans." There could 
hardly be found elsewhere so good a training ground in patriotism 
for the children of the land as is afforded in the common school. 
It is probable that the superior fibre in the manhood of New Eng- 
land during the first two centuries of its history was due largely 
to its common schools. Whether or no these principles are correct, 
they are evidently believed by a vast majority of the people; and 
acordingly we may regard the abrogation of the principle of State 
schools as altogether out of the question. To launch the missiles of 
opposition against the principle of public instruction is probablv des- 



State Normal College 99 

tined to be as futile as the celebrated bull of the pope against the 
comet 

I shall assume, then, that the common school has come to stay. 
And so I proceed to assert a second principle, namelv, tlat it is 
imipossible for the State to adjust the religious and secular elements 
in the instruction offered in its schools in such a way as to avoid 
offense to the conscience of certain classes. In the nature of things, 
the education of our youth is bound to affect our moral as well as 
material interests. It cannot remain a solely secular matter, and 
wherever the State touches the strings of conscience (in a Jefferson- 
ian commonwealth), there is bound to be discord. Shall the State 
sustain a common school in which Christian precepts are taught? 
That course would offend the conscience of Jew and Moslem. Shall 
it sustain a common school from which Christian precepts and doc- 
trines are studiously excluded? That course would certainly offend the 
conscience of every true follower of Jesus Christ, who believes in such 
a thing as a sin of omission, and holds that the schools must be 
either for Christ or against Him. Shall it permit the Bible in the 
schools, and place its interpretation in the hands of teachers who 
are not responsible to any church? The Roman Catholic conscience 
is offended by that. 

To please everybody in a scheme of popular education is evidently 
an " iridescent dream." It is an unattainable result. So the parties 
which compose the State are of many minds. In contemplating this 
fact the State finds itself in a morass, and too often it flounders in 
the mire. There are two diverging paths which lead out from this 
point, and one or the other must ultimately be chosen. Neither can 
lead us out of the territory of an unpleasant conflict with the con- 
science of good citizens, though one path is the less of two evils. The 
two paths open to the State are two possible tendencies; the one is 
to secularize the schools, the other is to establish them upon an 
avowed Christian basis. It is true that in following the latter course 
the State would be likely to offend the atheists and free-thinkers; 
but it is no less true that in the former case it would offend all faith- 
ful Christians. We wonder that it is not more generally seen that 
there can be no stopping-point short of either a complete seculariza- 
tion of the common schools, or an avowal by the State of Christ- 
ianity as the true basis of education. Commissioner Harris has 
repeatedly tried to show the possibility of the schools simply being 
indifferent to religion — like a grocery store, for example; but with 
indifferent success. No; the final issue of the matter must be to 
render the common school either Christ's enemy or Christ's friend. 

I. The Tendency to Secularize the Schools. In a letter from 
Commissioner Harris he states that the tendency throughout the 
States is to distinguish more and more sharply between moral and 
religious instruction, and to exclude the latter. This tendency has 
been recently emphasized by the decision of the Supreme Court of 
Wisconsin, in the case of " Weiss vs. the School Board of Edgerton,' 
overruling the decision by Judge Bennett of the Circuit Court, and 



loo Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

therein declaring that the Bible is a sectarian book, and hence, under 
the constitutional provision forbidding sectarian instruction, ruling 
if out of the public institutions of the State. It is not impossible 
that this decision, with all that it involves, may become the rule in 
other States. If so, and until the rule is reversed, all references to 
the Christian religion in all classes of text-books and in oral instruc- 
tion will, sooner or later, have to follow the Bible — out of the win- 
dow. Already, as we have shown, school boards have pronounced 
against text-books on the sole ground that they contain references 
to a Supreme Being. Rev. H. D. Jenkins, D. D., is authority for the 
statement that an able work on political economy by a college presi- 
dent was rejected by a State Superintendent because its opening sen- 
tence read : '' The source of all wealth is the beneficence of God." 
The late Professor Hodge said, in 1887: " For the first time in the 
world's history, a complete literature is being generated from which 
all tincture of religion, whether natural or revealed, is expurgated 
for the education of the youth of a whole nation.'"'' But these tenden- 
cies are the necessary conclusion of the syllogism of which the major 
premise is: Everything sectarian should be forbidden the schools, 
and the minor premise is: The Bible is a sectarian book. But what- 
ever the ground of the rejection of the Bible, and of all that is 
involved in such rejection, it is a plain truth that to formally forbid 
the Bible is to insult the Bible. If the Bible be sectarian, Christ- 
ianity is a sect, and is put upon a level with Mormonism, Moham- 
medanism, or Buddhism. The outcome of that conclusion will be a 
silence in the common school with reference to revealed truth like 
that of death. 

We cannot believe that the multitude of Christian citizens through- 
out the land will continue to keep silent while this process of 
dethroning God and religion in the public schools is being gradually 
accomplished. " Our Day," in commenting upon the Wisconsin case, 
truly says: "Make our schools entirely non-religious — i. e., irrelig- 
ious, and they become as unsatisfactory to Protestants as to Catho- 
lics. In that case, how long will the system as we now know 
it survive?" We boldly assert that to secularize the schools 
is to make them atheistic. The contention is not about the small 
amount of time that might be devoted to the reading of the Bible 
or religious instruction in the schools, but about the reproach put 
upon Christianity, by formally forbidding its Sacred Book. If, during 
certain hours of the day a child were forbidden to use the name 
of his mother on the ground that certain of his playmates were taught 
at home to regard her name as offensive, would he not be bound to 
regard the fact of such prohibition as an insult to his mother and so 
to himself? To exclude God from the schools is to deny God in 
the schools. And the claim that churches and Sunday schools are the 
proper sphere for religious instruction is idle when we reflect that 
thousands of the pupils of the day schools never enter the Sunday 
school, and that if they did they would get but one hour of religious

instruction a week as against twenty-five hours a week in the day 
schools. In short, to refuse rehgious teaching a place in the public 
schools is not a compromise between Christians and atheists, but 
a complete surrender, as has been said a hundred times, of the 
former to the latter. It is to plunge into the worst form of sectar- 
ianism, as the atheists form the narrowest of sects. A wiser teacher 
than we has declared a compromise between God and Mammon an 
impossibility. God forbid that our common school should ever 
become the throne of atheism! As for me, I say, let it perish first! 

There is another line of attack against the secularization of the 
common school. We deny that a lofty and pure morality can be 
enforced without the sanctions of religion, and that secular instruc- 
tion can fit a man for good citizenship unless supplemented by 
instructian in the primary principles of the Christian faith. A man 
is not necessarily nor presumptively more useful to the State for 
knowing the " three R's." Mere intelligence is as apt to fit a man for 
a bank robber as a college president. Ignorance is not so much to 
be feared by society as badness. The country's most dangerous 
foes have been educated but unprincipled men — for example, Arnold 
and Burr. Says the "Churchman :" " It is noteworthy, though it is 
perfectly natural, that absconding clerks and other defaulters are 
mostly men who have received such learning as they possess from 
the public schools. That the public schools do turn out a large num- 
ber of smart men is indisputable, but their neglect of moral teach- 
ing and training, which is confessed by their best friends, makes 
them quite as likely to turn out smart rogues as competent citizens." 
On the other hand, let us listen to the testimony of E. Sartorius, a 
German resident of Mexico, about the morals of an illiterate people. 
He says: "The people in general are good, cute, dexterous, labor- 
ious, ingenious, and disposed to any improvement. When it is 
considered how little has been done or is doing to give them an ade- 
quate moral and intellectual education, we cannot avoid being sur- 
prised at the good fund of probity that prevails among all classes." 
Nor is it true that crime is less common in those portions of the 
Union in which the common school flourishes best. We have been 
at the pains to obtain some suggestive figures from the tenth cen- 
sus. Comparing, for example, the States of Massachusetts and New 
York with South Carolina and New Mexico, we find that the per- 
centage of the population of those who cannot read is in Massachu- 
setts, 5.3; in New York, 4.2; while in South Carolina it is 48.2; and 
in New Mexico, 60.2. It is evident that the common school is more 
flourishing in the two northern States than in the two southern 
one. But notice: In Massachusetts the criminals are returned as about 
2 to the thousand; in New Yofk, 1.2 to the thousand; while in South 
Carolina they are only six-tenths of i to the thousand, and in New 
Mexico three-tenths of i to the thousand. Certainly, if these facts 
prove any thing, they show that crime does not necessarily prevail 
in direct proportion to illiteracy. 

In view of all this, how shall we characterize the cant of those 
who describe our common schools as the "palladium of our liber- 



I02 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

ties," while, at the same time, they urge the removal from them of 
precisely those elements which can alone render them a safe train- 
ing place for character? Surely " the right path of a virtuous and 
noble education," of which Milton speaks, is not in the direction of 
State schools where the Bible and God have no dwelling-place. 

2. We consider, finally, the proposition to have Christian instruc- 
tion in the common schools, and of such form as will suit the majority 
in the State. If we are adherents of State education, and oppose the 
secularization of the schools, the rule of the majority is the only 
course open to us. And why should not the majority of each State, 
or, perhaps, of each school district, rule in this matter as well as any 
other? The majority wants the common school; very well, let us 
have it. The majority, presumably, want the Bible left in the schools. 
Why should not the will of the majority prevail here as well as else- 
where? 

This entire question, in other words, lies within the province of 
the State for practical settlement. State and Church will interfere 
no more by the former legislating in favor of religious instruction 
in the schools than by legislating against it. The majority has the 
same moral right to declare for the Bible in the schools as to for- 
bid it. In the United States all strictly political questions are, with- 
out question, decided by the State. Questions like the Tarifif, the 
Free Coinage of Silver, and Civil Service Reform, are, as a matter of 
course, decided by the State. It is undertsood that where questions 
afifecting religion are not involved in civil relations, they are not to 
be tried before the bar of the State or nation, but are to be left to 
the judgment of individuals or parties who are particularly inter- 
ested in them. Thus, for example, in no sense is the State as a State, 
interested in the revision of a creed or in the theology of a sect; and 
there is no reason why an attempt should be made to determine 
either by civil legislation. When, however, religious or moral ques- 
tions become involved in civil relations, they must, according to the 
genius of our government, be settled by civil processes. Thus 
slavery was primarily a moral issue ; but when it became a symptom 
of the social and political health of the nation, it justly became an 
issue for the majority of the people, irrespective of section or class, 
to pass judgment upon. As another illustration, whatever affects tax- 
ation may be legitimately determined by the State; consequently the 
taxation of church property may properly be decided by the State, 
though the acquirement and use of such property may be strictly a 
religious and private matter. Questions of this class, in w^hich civil 
and religious issues are vitally united, are continually presenting 
themselves for settlement by the State. Mormonism is a religion; 
but it is generally understood that it is the province of the State 
to pass judgment upon that phase of the system which affects the 
material and moral welfare of society at large. Moreover, in the 
settlement of these semi-religious, semi-civil issues, the State bears a 
responsibility which it cannot avoid. In dealing with these issues 
it is not only its right, but also its duty, to serve the highest interests 
of the people with whatever consequences to the minority. The 



State Normal College 105 

State may not say: "Apart from religion there is nothing to show 
that a lottery is wrong, per se; therefore, the Christians of the land 
must settle the lottery question for themselves. And as Mormon- 
ism is a religion, polygamy must be left to the churches and minis- 
ters." The State is morally bound to give its verdict upon such 
issues. Now apply the foregoing principles to the question of relig- 
ious instruction in the common schools. As the schools are a civil 
institution, any question whatever relating to their character may be 
properly determined by the State or the majority of the people. Cer- 
tainly the State will no more, in principle, interfere with the relig- 
ious convictions of any class by permitting instruction in the leading 
doctrines and precepts of Christianity in the schools than it does 
in providing that the oath be ordinarily taken upon the Bible in 
courts of justice. Again, it is hard to see in what respect the State 
has any more the moral right to compel its citizens, nolens volens, 
by compulsory school laws, to send their children to school, than 
to compel those children to learn such fundamental truths as the 
existence of God, the authority of Divine law, the law of conscience, 
and the immortality of the soul. 

Upon this basis, then, and this only, can the school problem be 
solved. No abstract principle relating to the philosophy of govern- 
ment ought to interfere with the expression of the popular mind upon 
the question. Let the issue be squarely met. If it appear that the 
majority of Americans are avowed atheists or their friends, let it 
be decided that God and His Word shall be kept out of the schools. 
But if it appear that the majority of Americans are Christians, let 
the schools rest upon a nominal and real Christian foundation. Let 
the world know by our decision whether we consider ourselves a 
pagan or a Christian people. Let the question turn upon that of 
the friendliness or enmity of the nation to the Christian faith. 

We shall conclude this address with a few observations upon the 
question whether the Bible be a sectarian book. The constitution 
of Wisconsin (art. 10, sec. 3), provides that " The Legislature shall 
provide by law for the establishment of district schools ''' '^ * 
and no sectarian instruction shall be allowed therein." We presume 
that the constitutions of all of the States contain similar provisions. 
The line of argument we have just concluded is to the effect that 
even if the decision of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin be accepted 
as conclusive, the majority of the people have a moral right to 
amend the sections of the State constitutions forbidding sectarian 
instruction. If the Bible be sectarian, then the State constitutions 
forbidding sectarian instruction ought promptly to become the object 
of attack of Christian citizenship. But is the decision of the Supreme 
Court of Wisconsin just? In the five other States where the 
issue has been raised, the courts have decided that the Bible does 
not fall within the scope of the term sectarian. If Christianity is to 
be regarded as a sect, then, of course, the Bible is sectarian. But we 
hardly need to argue that Christianity is not to be regarded by 
Americans as a sect. It is our national religion and the basis of the 
common law of the land. It is enough to support this claim to state 



I04 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

that it was the view of Webster, and of Chief Justice Story. These 
are Story's words: " There has never been a period in which the com- 
mon law did not recognize Christianity as lying at its foundation." 
The late Professor Dwight, for many years professor in the Colum- 
bia Law School, has advanced the same view: "It is well settled 
by the decisions of the courts of the leading States of the Union 
that Christianity is a part of the common law of the State.*' If 
Christianity be our national religion, and not a sect, how about the 
sectarianism of that Divine revelation which is its soul and life? 
The written opinion of Judge Lyon, in the decision of the Supreme 
Court of Wisconsin, to which we have alluded, sets forth the admis- 
sion that the most of the contents of the Bible is unsectarian mat- 
ter; while it claims that because certain portions of it are, in the 
opinion of the court, sectarian, it must be considered as sectarian 
on the whole. W. A. McAtee, D. D., in his pamphlet "Must the 
Bible Go?'^ demohshes this reasoning by applying similar logic to 
Shakespeare. "Major premise: All immoral teaching is forbidden 
by law in the public schools. Minor premise : Some parts of Shake- 
speare's plays are immoral. Therefore, the use of Shakespeare's 
plays as a whole is forbidden in the public schools." Those of us 
who believe that the Bible was inspired of God will hardly be dis- 
posed even to admit that any parts of it are sectarian. Because cer- 
tain parts of if are the subjects of controversy, it does not follow that 
those parts are sectarian. God's Word i is not to blame for the con- 
troversies of men concerning its interpretation. 

But there remains the question concerning the sectarianism of the 
versions of the Bible. Admitting that the Bible is accepted by all 
Christians, is not the King James version or the Douay version a 
sectarian book? A few words will suf^ce to answer this query. The 
King James version, based, as it is on the Wycliflfe version, which is 
of a date prior to the Reformation, can hardly be called, by Christ- 
ians, a sectarian version. The spirit in which it v/as conceived and 
created was broadly Catholic. Dr. Cheever quotes Dr. Alexander 
Geddes, an ecclesiastic of the Romish Church, as saying of this ver- 
sion that it is " of all versions the most excellent for accuracy, fidel- 
ity, and the strictest attention to the lettter of the text." But we 
shall not quarrel with the friends of any version. We personally 
should be content to have the Douay version used in the schools, 
if that would satisfy our Catholic friends. Only it is to be remem- 
bered that some version must be used. We should advocate saying 
to all classes of Christians: "Come, let us reach a friendly agree- 
ment as to what version of the Bible shall be used in the schools." 
If our Catholic brethren refuse to consider the matter with us, the 
State would doubtless be warranted in continuing to authorize the 
use of the King James version until some other is agreed upon. 
We cannot, however, see the wisdom of the State giving encourage- 
ment to any dog-in-the-manger policy, which says in effect: "We 
do not wish this or that version of the Bible used in the common 
school, neither shall we permit the community, if we can help 
it, to use any other." Stripped of all confusing verbiage, the 



State Normal College 109 

science is moving mightily against the physical burdens that oppress 
humanity. 

Consider domestic economy. In this field scientific research has 
attacked some of the problems of physical life, and is inaugurating 
an era of better living. Bilder and Schmidt studied the composition 
of the human body, measured the daily gain in weight by the con- 
sumption of definite quantities of food and oxygen, the daily losses 
by respiration and other processes, and thus laid the foundation of 
all our present knowledge of the laws of nutrition. This was done 
in 1851. 

The origin and propagation of disease by organic germs, a doctrine 
brought to light in still more recent times, has become a promi- 
nent feature in the theory and practice of medicine. It is not yet 
three decades since the birth-place of these destructive agents was 
found to be in putrefactive organic matter, and it is less than two 
decades since the air we breathe and the water we drink was found 
to be the habitations of these invisible but relentless enemies of 
human health. A new science and a new art are being built on these 
discoveries. I refer to sanitary chemistry and sanitary engineering. 
What may we not hope for in the near future, since chemistry with 
physics and all related sciences, and engineering, and medicine, are 
united in a joint attack upon the physical obstacles and the organic 
foes which beset the ways of human life ! The statistician tells us that 
already he has discovered an increase in the average length of the 
lives of men. 

But I turn now to speak of the splendid contributions which 
recent science has made to the stock of human learning. 

For after all, what humanity most needs is an uplift into a purer 
atmosphere of intellectual and spiritual truth. To relieve its material 
distresses is to promote this higher purpose, because physical depres- 
sion is inconsistent with mental growth. Only so far as the race can 
throw ofY its physical burdens can it hope to be raised by spiritual 
agencies. But if science did no more than to remove the dead 
weight of want, or add to the sources of comfort, or open new 
avenues to wealth, even if it should succeed in wresting from etern- 
ity a few years of time for the enjoyment of wealth and pleasure, it 
would fall short of its highest function which is, as must not for one 
moment be forgotten, to promote the intellectual and spiritual inter- 
ests of mankind. 

But it has done much more. Truth is just as much the supreme 
object of scientific research to-day as it was in the pre-electric times, 
when the steam engine was almost its only contribution to the indus- 
tries of the world. In fact, no other era of equal length has been 
more fruitful in the discovery of great principles, than the last half 
century has been. In no other was there ever an approach to such 
universal application of nature study to education. And in no other 
have the methods and results of science been so triumphantly used 
in the discussion of the higher problems of philosophy. 

If time would only let me do so, I would speak at greater length 
of those phases of modern science. In the most summary way let 



no Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

us consider a few examples of the additions to human knowledge. 
For this purpose, in a general way, we may treat pure science in 
three parts. 

There is first, physical science, including physics and chemistr}% 
devoted to the study of the principles of matter and of energy for 
their own sake. 

There is natural science, including those branches which, like 
geology, deal with the history of the interactions of matter and 
energy to produce and maintain material structures and systems. 

And, finally, there is biological science, which treats of matter and 
energy as dominated by the higher principle of life. 

In each of these grand divisions of science there has been 
discovered an underlying principle, which is at once the guide 
to research and the criterion by which to judge results. In physical 
science this foundation principle is known as the " Conservation of 
Energy." In natural science it is the " Uniformity and Persistence 
of the Methods of Nature.*' In biological science it is called 
'• Evolution." 

But fifty years ago neither of these fundamental principles had 
been established. In physics, the " Conservation of Energy " dates 
from the memorable experiments of Joule, whose patient work for 
seven years was sumn^.ed up in a paper published in 1849, giving the 
mechanical equivalent of heat. 

In geology, the old doctrine of periodical catastrophes which 
swept all forms of organic life from the face of the earth, and periodi- 
cal creations by which sea and land were repeopled with new forms, 
was still maintained. This doctrine had been successfully attacked 
by Lyell some years before, but the full meaning of the new doctrine 
of the uniformity of nature did not appear until years after the battle 
which he so bravely fought and won. 

The study of plants and animals had gone on apace, but natural 
history concerned itself chiefly with the accumulation of accurate 
descriptions of indviduals and the small details of classifications. 
The naturalist wondered at the enormous variety of living forms; 
he admired their beautiful colorings and their curious adaptations, 
but the prevailing belief was that animals and plants had been 
created just as we see them, and this barren hypothesis effectually 
hid the deeper meaning of the marvelous variety in the forms of life. 
But all this is changed. The old natural history has given place 
)o the new biology. The principle of evolution, which has given 
:oherence and purpose to the study of living things, dates from the 
publication of Darwin's " Origin of Species," in 1859. 

Thus, the foundations of theoretical science have been relaid within 
the short period of which we speak. But I have no time to describe 
the rapid rise of the magnificent structure which has been reared 
upon this new foundation, much less to speak of the separate build- 
ing stones which have been quarried, polished and adjusted, each to 
its appropriate place. 

The stories of the atomic theory, the periodic law of the elements, 
the kinetic theory of gases, the electromagnetic theor}- of light, the 



State Normal College m 

* spectroscopic study of the stars, the appHcation of the microscope 
to the study of the rocks, the culture method in the study of bacteria; 
all these must remain untold. 

I can not even touch one of the most remarkable phases of our 
subject, viz.: The Growth of Science in Education. I can only 
stay to remind you that in education outside the universities and 
technical schools, science was almost unknown in the early decades 
of this century, while to-day it is recognized in the colleges and 
schools of every grade. 

I must not relate the history of the escape of science from the fet- 
ters of scholastic philosophy; of its brave struggle for a foothold 
alongside of the classics and mathematics in the colleges ; of its con- 
quest, so nearly made, of an honorable place in the secondary and 
primary schools; of the numerous special laboratories which it has 
erected and equipped; of the rich and abundant literature which it has 
created; of its victorious battle wnth the metaphysics, not for subju- 
gation, but for reformation, resulting in the conversion of the old 
metaphysics into modern philosophy by the substitution of scientific 
for speculative methods of research. 

And as I close with this partial catalogue of the phases of the sub- 
ject which must be left untouched, I know not what your judgments 
may be, but my own is this: That I have successfully illustrated only 
one thing, and that is, how little can be done in twenty minutes to 
describe the growth of science in the last and most prolific fifty years 
of its existence. 



CHANGE IN THE EDUCATIONAL ATTITUDE 
By Amos M. Kellogg, '51 

A hundred years almost have elapsed since an experiment was 
undertaken in Stanz, Switzerland, by an enthusiastic humanitarian, 
that has profoundly affected the whole enlightened world. There 
seems to be no reason why it succeeded, except that Pestalozzi had 
struck the foundation truths of education ; the " Harry Oddity of 
Foolsboro," as his school companions called him, there appeared as 
a genius in the neglected department of human endeavor, and his 
school-house became an intellectual laboratory, where the problems 
of the mental and moral development of children were at last shown 
to be capable of solution. 

^The war that had occurred in Switzerland left, in the year 1792, 
many homeless children wandering about the country. An orphan- 
age was founded at Stanz and Henry Pestalozzi was placed at its 
head by his earnest solicitation. No record exists that he was to 
draw any salary. He had neither books, school materials, nor assist- 
ants; nor was he a practical teacher. But he had observed and 
studied the child himself; the conclusions he had come to concern- 
ing education were founded, where all true science is, in a study of 
nature. 

Pestalozzi entered on his work and actually evolved an educa- 



112 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

tional system that turned the world from the well-worn grooves in 
which it was running. This man was dedicated to the good of 
humanity; he had a single eye and this gave him power to perceive 
the foundation truth that had hitherto been unnoticed in the instruc- 
tion of children. That truth is that education is an organic process; 
not a compound made as a wall is made with little stones and big 
stones from all sorts of quarries, bound together with mortar. As a 
plant takes the chemical elements in the soil and organizes them 
into a structure and finally crowns it with a flower so beautiful that 
Jesus himself paused and called attention to its loveliness, so Pesta- 
lozzi felt that the mind to be educated must organize appropriate 
knowledge to form an intellectual and moral structure. His efforts 
at Stanz were to find methods to realize this idea; he did realize it 
and the world admitted it. 

The wide attention which this experiment attracted at the time 
surprises us who read the stor}^ It was an exciting time in Europe. 
The French Revolution was just over. Napoleon was the chief 
actor on the stage, and yet the school-rooms at Stanz were crowded 
with distinguished visitors. It may be said that despite the horrible 
wars that shook Europe like an earthquake, and that were only ended 
when Napoleon was landed on St. Helena, the event of that era was 
the experiment going on in the school-rooms of Stanz and Burgdorf. 
This country was busy with laying its constitutional foundations: 
the death of Washington, the settlement of the public debt, the war 
with England, prevented consideration of improvements upon the 
routine pursued in the schools at that time. Germany sent teachers 
to learn the method pursued by Pestalozzi and thus attained that 
high educational rank she maintains to this day. England followed 
next, and noted schools were established, and then France. It was 
not until after the close of the school in 1825, that the news of dis- 
coveries made by the Swiss schoolmaster was brought to this coun- 
try and aroused attention. It affected the country like an intellectual 
tidal wave; New England was especially moved. Horace Mann 
became the expounder of the new faith — the St. Paul of Pestaloz- 
zianism. Of course the intense humanitarianism exhibited by Pesta- 
lozzi and his followers would be reflected in America. 

The feeling at the bottom here was the same that possessed them 
as they labored among the orphans in Stanz and Burgdorf. Hence 
the addresses of the earnest propagators of the Pestalozzian faith con- 
cerned the moral righteousness of the development of children. 
They appealed to the sentiment of benevolence in the universal 
human heart. The educational meetings held in those earlv days 
were as earnest as those held by the disciples of Wesley. A half 
century after the foundation principle had been announced by Pesta- 
lozzi, New England, prompted by Horace Mann, entered upon an 
educational effort she has never turned back from nor wavered in. 

Looking back over the century we see it may be divided roughly 
into four periods. First, the period of the working out by Pestalozzi 
of his idea at Stanz and Burgdorf — covering twenty-five years. 
During this time the Germans were introducing the new methods 



State Normal College 113 

into their schools with indefatigable earnestness; second, the period 
when the impact of the new ideas was felt in, and was rousing up 
the American world, — another space of twenty-five years — in the 
latter part of this period the interest had risen to such a point that 
normal schools were founded in Massachusetts and New York. 
Third, a period mainly of expansion where the imported ideas were 
still the main influence. Fourth, the present period extending from 
about 1875 ^^ th^ ^^^ o^ t^^ century, in which education is being 
investigated in somewhat of a scientific spirit. During this last 
period the educational literature that has sprung up marks the 
period and makes it distinct from any other. 

David P. Page's wonderful book was the first fruit on the Ameri- 
can Pestalozzian tree. It was so written that it could not but be read; 
its perusal could not but arouse the desire to know more. It is not 
that he wrote a book that one more reason exists that his memory 
is precious to us; it is that he wrote the book of the times. No one 
but a man saturated with the new ideas could have done this, and 
not unless he had the marvelous power of expression possessed by 
Mr. Page. His " Theory and Practice of Teaching " has all the 
marks of the work of a genius, and is so generally recognized. It 
can be read and is read as a romance. It made then and has con- 
tinually made converts to a consideration of education as the highest 
and noblest occupation that the world has to offer. 

It is a charge that is often brought against the teaching profes- 
sion — if a term may be used in advance of its rightful application — 
that the teacher is satisfied to be merely a hearer of lessons — a sort 
of reciting post; only aiming to deposit certain scraps of knowledge 
in the mejnory. This class abounded and super-abounded; there 
was a time when there were none but such men. But truth has this 
marked feature — those that possess it feel its precious nature and 
desire others to possess it also. Looking back fifty years we see 
most schools were officered by teachers who absolutely knew noth- 
ing about education except as a routine. The art of arts then was 
to govern the school; the art of teaching had not then been 
discovered. 

The past has laid a heavy and obstructing hand on teaching. Tra- 
dition declared that the only thing needed by the teacher was a 
small quantity of 'knowledge and a large ability to keep children 
quiet. The founding of normal schools was a challenge to this old 
time doctrine. They were founded on the belief that principles exist 
in education, and that the work done in the schools must be built on 
them. 

This is the position taken by Pestalozzi. " My efforts," he says, 
"are to psychologize education; " meaning by this that his aim was 
to base all teaching on the eternal laws that regulate the develop- 
ment of the human mind. When the normal school proposed fifty 
years ago to teach its pupils the art and aim of teaching one shout 
arose from the academies, " You cannot teach a person how to 
teach! " The obstructions laid in the way of the normal school were 
so great that if it had not had underneath it the solid principles of 



114 Semi-Centennial Jubilee 

truth it would have succumbed at the end of the first five years; but 
the legacy of Pestalozzi to the world was a spirit of inquiry and 
investigation. The strength of the graduates of this school lay in 
the fact that they had inquired and investigated somewhat. They 
went out few in number year by year, but they had been students of 
education, and that differentiated them from others. 

In 1847, becoming editor of "The School Journal," I began to urge 
upon teachers to read Page's " Theory and Practice of Teaching." 
There was but a small sale of that incomparable book at that time. 
Doubtingly the advice was heeded; the sales slowly increased; a 
new edition was made; the stone cut out of the mountain was in 
motion; other books were called for and the last twenty-five years 
have the distinct mark of an earnest spirit of inquiry and investiga- 
tion concerning the principles and practice of education. In other 
words, the spirit that Pestalozzi aroused when he gathered the 
orphan children around him at Stanz is at last diffused among the 
teachers of America. Mere skill is not enough ; the world is never to 
be conquered by mere skill in teacher and preacher. It was not mere 
skill in teaching that attracted attention to Pestalozzi; he was 
defective in the arts of personal persuasiveness, was generally 
clumsy, and unable to explain with clearness; yet despite all these 
he knew how teaching should be done — he had discovered the 
'' real and universal laws of teaching," to use the words of the council 
of public education in Berne in 1802. The real teacher must stand in 
a very different attitude toward the world in general from what those 
do who rank themselves as the possessors of knowledge merely. The 
perplexities that surrounded Pestalozzi, and caused the collapse of 
his institute arose from having helpers who lacked the spirit. " My 
assistants can copy my methods, but do not seek for the idea that is 
underneath," he sadly says. When a normal school fails to make 
its chief object, from cellar to garret, from library to laboratory, the 
ways and means of carrying mankind, and especially children, to 
higher stages of living, it fails in all. 

By slow accumulations during the past fifty years what may be 
called the science of pedagogy has been forming. The human race 
began at a low point and has risen to a somewhat high stage of 
enfightenment in many parts of the world. What has caused this 
progress? This is the question the teacher must investigate; it is a 
question that will require many years of study; this is the question 
that Pestalozzi undertook in 1797 — the volume was prolix and 
obscure and was passed by. He says, " They could not understand 
it and thought it a jumble of nonsense." Yet this field must be 
explored by the teacher. It is to questions concerning the ways and 
means of mental development that the teacher's attention must be 
directed. If the school fails in this, while its students may rank well 
in mathematics and sciences, it is not actuated by the spirit of 
Pestalozzi. 

If the student betake himself to the normal school to gain more 
arithmetic or chemistry then the millennial age of education is to be 
postponed; his pupils will come to his school with the same spirit, 



State Normal College 115 

and (what Pestalozzi calls) '' the artificial and methodical dwarfing 
of humanity," will go on. The normal school cannot be judged 
wholly by its course of study. Well do I remember an academy 
principal looking over the circular of the Albany Normal School 
which I held, and exclaiming, "They teach just the same things as I 
do, and you are foolish to spend your time and money there! " But 
the atmosphere of the normal school w^as not taken into account by 
him. A teacher may impart a knowledge of the subjects of study 
and yet be a very poor teacher; the life of the pupil must be affected. 
In the case of most it must be wholly reconstructed. Pestalozzi puts 
it — " To exercise his judgment and to open his heart to noble senti- 
ments is, I think, the chief end of education." So that the idea with 
which the student enters the normal school needs in general to be 
revolutionized. He must enter it as a humanitarian; he must feel 
he is to acquire power to increase the world's happiness. 

I have used the name of Pestalozzi frequently, because he was the 
real founder of normal schools. He had meditated for many years 
on the question. How to raise his countrymen to a higher level of 
happiness; he saw it must be done by education, but when he investi- 
gated that he found it to be what he called a " barbarous absurdity." 
He was compelled to plan out a way for himself; when he had found 
one teachers gathered from all quarters to learn it, so that in 1802 
the proposition was made to turn the schools for orphans into a 
school to train teachers. 

The " great educational awakening " that has occurred in our 
times has come from normal schools that have imbibed the spirit of 
Pestalozzi and helped to disseminate it.
